From Catholic News:
82 million Americans - or nearly two-thirds of those online - are now using the Internet for religious, faith or spiritual reasons, according to a new study.
The research, carried out by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, represents a substantial increase on the organisation's previous studies.
Those who use the Internet for religious or spiritual purposes are more likely to be women, white, middle aged, college educated, and relatively well-to-do.
The online faithful are somewhat more active as Internet users than the rest of the Internet population. On a typical day, 63% of them are online. Some 56% of them have been online for six years or longer. And 60% have broadband connections somewhere in their life (at home or at work), compared to 54% of all Internet users.
Doesn't that number seem rather high? Not that I have a problem with it, its just surprising.
Call me cynical, but I would have thought that more people were getting on the internet for porno. Maybe the researchers didn't ask that question or, and this is more likely, the people studied didn't tell the truth.
