If you go to the Google Culturomics site and type in “Jesus” in English language publications, you’ll see
that after sinking steadily from the middle of the 19th century, usage
incidence plateaued between 1940 and 1980, and then began to climb, such
that it’s now at the level it was it was in 1900. “God” and “Bible” are where it was in 1900; “Christian” and “Gospel,” to 1910.

What
does this say about secularization in contemporary society? Obviously,
the appearance of these words in particular publications is not exactly
determinative. But there’s certainly something to ponder in the apparent
decline in the secularization of the printed word over the course of
the past generation.
