The tech giant revealed the number of British people this year asking this on the search engine has increased by 150 per cent over the last decade.
Speaking on Premier's News Hour, Mal Fletcher said he wasn't surprised by Google's annual Year in Search compilation, which also crowned Prince Harry's fiancée Meghan Markle as the top most searched term in the UK for 2017.
Speaking to Premier he did have some concerns.
"As our lives become more mobile, what were traditionally proximate relationships become more distant," he said. "That means more and more of our relationships are mediated using gadgets and screens.
"We have fewer opportunities to actually sit with someone and ask their advice face-to-face."
The UK election featured heavily in the list of top "What is...?" queries, with people asking about a hung Parliament and the Democratic Unionist Party.
Fletcher said the online list raises an important question.
He said: "The more important question is 'what does an overreliance on technology mean for the future of human beings generally'?
"That affects the way people of faith will communicate with human beings.
"I think the answer begins with simple things like limiting the time we spend interacting with gadgets so that we make space for face-to-face human interactions.
