Faith Online: 64% of Wired Americans Have Used the Internet for Spiritual or Religious Purposes
http://ww w.pewinternet.org/reports/toc.asp?Report=119

64% of the nation’s 128 million Internet users have done things online that relate to religious or spiritual matters:

- Nearly two-thirds of the adults who use the Internet in the United States have used the Internet for faith-related matters. That represents nearly 82 million Americans. Among the most popular and important spiritually-related online activities: 38% of the 128 million Internet users have sent and received email with spiritual content.
- 35% have sent or received online greeting cards related to religious holidays.
- 32% have gone online to read news accounts of religious events and affairs.
- 21% have sought information about how to celebrate religious holidays.
- 17% have looked for information about where they could attend religious services.

This figure represents a substantially higher number of online religious faith seekers than the Pew Internet & American Life Project has measured before. We used a new battery of questions to prompt Internet users’ recollections of the things they do online related to spiritual activities. 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.

Faith-Based National Parks? The National Park Service has recently approved the display of three bronze plaques bearing biblical verses at the Grand Canyon, as well as the sale of a creationist book on the canyon's origins (here's a review of the book by a professor of geology,) while at the same time blocking park rangers from publishing a scientific rebuttal to creationism. The NPS also wants to remove images of gay rights, pro-choice and anti-Vietnam War demonstrations from a videotape shown at the Lincoln Memorial, though they may be relenting.

USATODAY.com - If 2004 had one code word, it might be "values." But as Humpty Dumpty said, a word can mean whatever one chooses it to mean. Indeed, in discussions of religious issues during the last year, nuanced voices on values often were lost in the clash of extreme sound bites.
