Gallup: Poll Finds Americans' Belief in God Remains Strong

NEW YORK A new Gallup survey released today finds that four decades after the "God Is Dead" controversy was first noted, Americans retain a strong belief in a higher power. Some 94% think God exists.

Only 5% feel God "does not exist" -- and even most of them "are not sure" of that. Exactly 1% are certain there is no God.

But how strongly do the believers believe? Nearly 8 in 10, in fact, say they are "convinced" God exists, although Gallup does not ask them why that is.

Conservatives are more likely to be convinced than liberals (87% vs. 61%), women a little more likely than men (82% vs. 73%), and residents of the South more than those in the East (88% vs. 70%).

Surprisingly, some 61% of those who seldom or never attend church are nevertheless convinced that God exists.

I agree. Hard to be outgunned when the other side has no ammo. (i.e. evidence)

 

[numberprophet]

evidence isn't ammo.

Hi EvoDan,

"I agree. Hard to be outgunned when the other side has no ammo. (i.e. evidence)"

But neither side can prove its case; I'd say both guns are full of blanks.

We atheists together have some pretty big guns.

Usually only people with big guns join forces with us, so thats why we have em.

As far as bullets are concerned. They other side has plenty. they are just shooting them at the wrong targets

Hi Natro,

I don't drink.

Prove? No.

Support? There's a world of difference.

There's the side that produces hearsay that could be used equally to argue the existance of a god, or many gods, or the Easter Bunny, or Santa Claus, or the Tooth Fairy, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

And then there's the side that examines the natural, testable evidence all around us, and developes a scientific theory to account for the evidence.

hmm ive always liked the mystery and unknown, thats why Christ is a turn on.
as far as evidence and support...well i just cant put into words what Jesus does for me. I could never prove to you, you can only feel it for yourself.
