Religious Americans Technically Savvy

Pew Research has found that religious Americans are basically as active online as their secular counterparts. In fact, they are more likely to have broadband at home and a cellular phone than secular users. They also use e-mail more often, as well as the Internet in general.

However, religious people were less likely to be involved in social networking and Twitter in particular. Some think this has more to do with the fact that religious users are often older than their secular counterparts.

The study was amongst adult Internet users.
