Do Americans believe in God? The current issue of the Catholic Digest reports a nearly unanimous yes: 99% of them do.
The Digest bases its findings on a nationwide sampling in which people were offered a choice of phrases suggesting varying degrees of conviction. Eighty-seven percent felt "absolutely certain," ten percent were "fairly sure," two percent were "not quite sure," though not doubtful enough to class themselves as unbelievers.
The answers by denominations (including non-church members who lean to any one of them):
Absolutely Fairly Not Quite Other*
Certain Sure Sure
Roman Catholics 92% 7% 1% †
Baptists 93 6 1 †
Methodists 86 11 2 1
Lutherans 80...
