I would say a lot of people don't really give a **** whether there is a god or not. Therefore a lot of people will answer "sure, whatever."

I don't believe that 92 figure for a second.
Whenever I watch a Hitchens debate, the sound of the cheer is always greater when he speaks, than when his opponent speaks.

Was this a poll of Fox News watchers? If so, the number would make sense. Besides, there is a gap between belief in "a god" and religiousity.

There are intelligent, intellectually honest ways to believe in God.
Most of the general public's faith comes nowhere close to meeting that standard. The average person's basis for religious belief is ignorant, unthinking, and shallow. Little more than tribalism.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Believers are unusual in physics. But you don't have to be stupid to have faith. I think education and intelligence tend to destroy the naive religiosity of the average person. But this is not the only way to believe.12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET
