Bask in the advent of Religion 2.0, as Christians worldwide decide to give up Facebook for Lent. The trend, popular last year among teens and university students, involves abstaining from using Facebook during the 40 days that separate Ash Wednesday from Easter Sunday. This year, adults are jumping on the bandwagon as well—presumably having only recently discovered the social networking site.
Facebook usage has increased among adults in recent years, and Christians among them are flocking to join such Facebook groups as “Fast Facebook for Lent” and “The Lent Facebook Switch-Off” (presumably if the group shows absolutely no activity, it’s working).
Supporters say giving up FB for JC helps them control their temptations and save time.
