Really not sure what to make of this one, but I was trying out Blogpulse.com, which lets you search blogs. They have this nifty "trend search" which will place the frequency of posts about any given subject on a graph for you.
Being a theology blog, I tried out "God" and "Jesus" because, hey, you can't get any more basic than that, right? Also I tried something a bit more neutral (at least to most people), "coffee". And thus we find the following:
Frankly, I was surprised at the 6-month popularity of blogging about God. It consistently beat out such things as "coffee" "George Bush" and even "sex". However, Jesus scored fairly low except, of course, for Christmas and Easter.
Now, of course this little study of mine is unscientific in the extreme, and perhaps the only thing people were blogging about were swear phrases involving the use of the word "God", but at the very least it's nice to know people think more about Jesus than they do about coffee at least twice a year...
