Christians on Blogroll

Remembering that all survey respondents identified themselves as Christians, this is how they answered the question "What percent of blogs on your blogroll are written by Christians?"

Percent Christians on Your Blogroll..........Number of Respondents (out of a total of 115)
None........................................................2
10%.........................................................4
25%.........................................................6
30%.........................................................2
40%.........................................................3
50%.........................................................7
65%.........................................................5
75%.........................................................9
85%.........................................................2
90-99%..................................................21
100%.....................................................48
No Answer or "No Idea"..........................5

What this means: 41% of all Christian bloggers surveyed linked exclusively to other Christians.

If you add the 21 bloggers who claimed their blogroll had less than 10% blogs written by non-Christians, then 60% of those surveyed barely link, if at all, to blogs of non-Christians.

Overall, 69% of those surveyed stated that between 90-100% of the bloggers on their blogrolls were Christians. As many respondents commented that they only blogroll weblogs they would want to recommend to others, the lack of blogrolling non-Christians implies a wariness and caution to promote the weblogs of any non-Christians through permanent linking.

Some respondents stated that they are always surprised to find non-Christians linking to their weblogs, and a few survey respondents even answered that they had asked non-Christians to remove a link to them in the past because they did not want to be associated with the linking website or it's content.
