Reading Up

When asked "Do you regularly read the blogs of any non-Christians? If yes, approximately how many? Do you link to them?" this is how survey respondents answered:

* 17% (20/115) of participants exclusively read only weblogs written by other Christians.
* 29% (33/115) of participants regularly read the blogs of non-Christians but do not link to them.

A large majority of those who "regularly read the blogs of non-Christians" read only 1 or 2 of such blogs.

Most identified the "non-Christian blogs" that they read as ones pertaining to a specific interest of theirs, such as sports, computing, teaching, or cultural affairs.

What these statistics mean:

It would seem from the statistics from these answers that many Christian webloggers are wary to link to others who are not of the same faith. One respondent stated "There are two blogs I read on a regular basis who I am not sure of their religious convictions. I only link to one of them." Overall, Christian webloggers seem to not want to "promote" through their linking or recommend non-Christian blogs to anyone to read even when they have some kind of a relationship established with the blogger.
