As you can see, it's an interesting snapshot of (western) humanity. Apparently, more people are sacrificially giving up 'Religion' and 'Church' than they did last year, whilst 'Jesus', 'Christianity' and 'God' are not being fasted quite so much. There's probably an interesting point in there somewhere.
