	abstract = {The 25\% of Internet users who have searched online for religious information parallel the profile of the American population at large. However, the intensity of religious devotion of {\textquotedblleft}Religion Surfers{\textquotedblright} distinguishes them from the general population. Some 81\% of online Religion Surfers describe their commitment to faith as {\textquotedblleft}very strong,{\textquotedblright} compared to only 19\% of the population as a whole. The top uses of the Internet by Religion Surfers are simply to find information on their own faith or another one. Old-fashioned face-to-face socializing is much more appealing to Religion Surfers than tech-aided interactions with others that are related to faith. In our sample of 500 Religion Surfers, 9\% of them had looked for religious or spiritual information via the Internet on the same day we reached them, 26\% had gone online for such information within the past week, 29\% had made the search within the past month, 26\% had made the search in the past six months and 9\% had performed the search more than six months ago.},
