    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."

        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.

          Looking at the Harris poll I have to wonder why someone who doesn't believe in God would consider themselves to be Protetantr or Catholic.

            Because they're ignorant?

              You'll find Apolyton to be far more intelligent, in general, than the average American.

              I'm sure that's purely coincidence. As is your place on this site...

                    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.

                      Jon Miller. My ex-roommate.

                      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.

                          I realized that could be misinterpreted after I posted it. Those sentence fragments refer to two separate individuals.

                            I think it'd be more fun to run with the Jon Miller was my roommate story. Then you could tell us all kinds of fascinating things about him.

                              Yeah, I was hoping you could tell us if he refers to himself in the 3rd person in real life .
