People who have Internet access are in general smarter than those who do not (i.e. they have the income to afford a computer).<BR/><BR/>"A 2006 CBS News Poll of 899 U.S. adults found that 82 percent of those surveyed believed in God, while 9 percent believed in "some other universal spirit or higher power," 8% believed in neither, and 1% were unsure."<BR/><BR/>The CBS poll has a small sample size so may not be that accurate. But basically both the CBS poll and the Harris poll are better than the ODC poll.M3http://www.blogger.com/profile/06964341687093533718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5337733902781454064.post-32499710965663881382008-07-08T10:33:00.000-04:002008-07-08T10:33:00.000-04:00ODC's poll is skewed because they ask registered voters of Fox News. This is not a representative sample. Fox viewers, especially those who are registered voters, tend to be more politically conservative and religious.<BR/><BR/>"A 2006 online Harris Poll of 2,010 U.S. adults (18 and older) found that 73 percent of those surveyed believed in God, with 58 percent being "absolutely certain" and 15 percent "somewhat certain." Eleven percent did not believe in God, and 16 percent were uncertain."M3http://www.blogger.com/profile/06964341687093533718noreply@blogger.com
