At 0.84, Religion News Service pulls away from every other neighbor in CNN Religion's top 10 — a gap of nearly nine points separates it from the second-closest entry. That concentration defines the spike shape here: one neighbor dominates, and the rest form a trailing cluster.
The remaining nine neighbors span a notably cross-kind mix. CNN Religion is categorized as a Website, yet no other Website appears in the top 10. Instead, the cluster is led by politicians — Bakari Sellers (0.76), Rev. Raphael Warnock (0.75), and Don Lemon (0.75) — alongside activists Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II (0.75) and Bernice King (0.75). Mental Health NIMH (0.75), a research organization, sits in the same band. Rounding out the ten are comedian George Wallace (0.75), actor Wendell Pierce (0.74), and journalist Shomari Stone (0.74). The subcategory distribution — politicians, activists, journalists, a comedian, an actor, and a government research body — points to an audience shaped more by civic and social engagement than by religion-media consumption specifically.
The spike on Religion News Service anchors the shape, but the breadth of the trailing cluster suggests this audience's composition is defined by a distinct civic orientation that cuts across many kinds of public figures.
