That would be me. Glad you asked. I just finished a brief, non scientific survey. I use 12 generalized categories … this month, here's the breakdown
120 questions were asked over the last hour...3.4% delt with belief, 18% were regarding profits and preachers, 34% were about faiths, 28% of the questions were considered “Inane”, and only 2% were about how science relates to faith, while 4% were related to the meaning of words, or language. The percents don't add to 100, since there were rounding errors,and there were other categories with zero questions.

Just curious why the 2% that were about how science relates to faith weren't categorized with the inane?
