Seeking God in Google

This morning I learned a bit about keywords.

To my surprise, we live in a world where, according to Google statistics, people search for "God" in average 165,000 times a month.

The search numbers for "Jesus" are a little higher, 246,000 times a month, and for "Bible" the average is 301,000 times a month. So far so good, you may think...

Well, if we dig a little deeper, we discover that the three most powerful words keywords of Christianity combined are much less popular than celebrities like Kim Kardashian or Beyoncé (at least in terms of average Google searches).

Now sit tight for more numbers...4 MILLION people are searching for Kim Kardashian each month, 2.2 MILLION for Beyoncé.

If we were to imagine our world today by simply rearranging those numbers to:
  • 165,000 people searching for Beyoncé.
  • 246,000 searching for Kim.
  • 6.2 million people searching for God, Jesus or, the Bible.

What kind of world would this be?

Love to read your comments...
