Press Release:

The Internet A Meeting Place for Religious Teens


Among U.S. teens ages 13 to 17 who have access to the Internet, three
times more report using the Internet for religious purposes than for
pornography, according to analysts with the National Study of Youth and
Religion.  Indeed, the sizeable percentages of teens who identify
themselves as religious and who use the Internet for visiting religious
websites indicates that the web has become a significant place of
religious connection for a sizable portion of religious U.S. teens.
