Poll: Most People Believe in God

Despite the efforts of vocal secularists to paint the picture that belief in God is some wacky idea that only a few fringe people adhere to, a Newsweek poll finds differently:

Nine in 10 (91 percent) of American adults say they believe in God and almost as many (87 percent) say they identify with a specific religion. Christians far outnumber members of any other faith in the country, with 82 percent of the poll’s respondents identifying themselves as such. Another 5 percent say they follow a non-Christian faith, such as Judaism or Islam.


It also looks like my belief in young-earth creationism isn't a fringe belief either (not that truth is determined by a majority, anyway):

Nearly half (48 percent) of the public rejects the scientific theory of evolution; one-third (34 percent) of college graduates say they accept the Biblical account of creation as fact. Seventy-three percent of Evangelical Protestants say they believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years; 39 percent of non-Evangelical Protestants and 41 percent of Catholics agree with that view.


On the whole, this is fairly positive news. I just wish more of these people would speak up for what they belive in.
