Comments:
 | "Harry Potter" is not generally considered a religious topic. It is children's fantasy fiction. However, we included it because some people consider it a form of Witchcraft. |
| This site seems to have covered all of the most important of the religious/spiritual/moral search topics, with the exception of "Greek mythology." We did not realize how popular that topic is. |
| We were surprised that "Abortion" or "Partial Birth Abortions" were not included in the top 100 list. |
| We found it interesting that "Wicca" is the most popular religion that was searched for. Yet public opinion pollsters, almanacs, lists of religious groups in the U.S. tend to ignore Wicca and other Neopagan religions. |
| On our site, the dozen most popular essays accessed during the last week of the year 2000 were: Wicca, Naturism/nudism, Religions of the world, Santa Claus, Christianity, Spanking children, Abortion, Female Genital Mutilation, Masturbation, Buddhism, Islam, and Physician Assisted Suicide. |
