More godless heathens on the internets tubes?
Yes, but it doesn't look like a whole lot more to me.

The big headline is that, Smith says, "Overall, the 'unaffiliated' are more likely to go online than the 'affiliated' by a fairly significant margin—89% vs. 74%. So, if you think the internet is full of Godless heathens, you've got your proof. Seriously, I think this does suggest that there is a modest inverse relationship between affiliating with a religion and looking for connection online--though, as you'll see, there doesn't seem to be a correlation between high church attendance and lower internet usage.

1. I wonder
Does Internet traffic slow down on (or rather speed up), on Sunday mornings? In theory, if all the good Christians were in church every Sunday, this should decrease the amount of bandwidth they are wasting all our time with, and give the Internet a speed boost.

Or is it more modern to TIVO a Sunday morning sermon on cable for later viewing, or catch a clip on youtube of your favorite rock star religious figure doing what you want to believe and telling you how to live.

Where's the better place to find the god that hates what you hate?
