Gallup: Poll Finds Americans' Belief in God Remains Strong

If there are so many Americans who believe in God, why have the laws, entertainment industry and education system gone so far away from the teachings of the Lord? If so many people believe, why are they not following God's Word? If all the believers were speaking out for the Lord, the laws, entertainment industryand education systems would reflect the will of the majority.
The silence is deafening.

NEW YORK A new Gallup survey released today finds that four decades after the "God Is Dead" controversy was first noted, Americans retain a strong belief in a higher power. Some 94% think God exists.
Only 5% feel God "does not exist" -- and even most of them "are not sure" of that. Exactly 1% are certain there is no God.
But how strongly do the believers believe? Nearly 8 in 10, in fact, say they are "convinced" God exists, although Gallup does not ask them why that is.
Conservatives are more likely to be convinced than liberals (87% vs. 61%), women a little more likely than men (82% vs. 73%), and residents of the South more than those in the East (88% vs. 70%).
Surprisingly, some 61% of those who seldom or never attend church are nevertheless convinced that God exists.
The poll sampled 1,002 national adults, Nov. 17-20.
