January 1, Poll: Belief in God Hits New Low
The number of Americans who believe in God has hit an all-time low, according to a new Gallup poll.
81% of American adults say they believe in God — down six percentage points from 2017, hitting the lowest number in the 78 years that Gallup has asked the question.
Meanwhile, 17% told the pollster they did not believe in God. More than 90% of respondents said they believed in God between 1944 and 2011.
“Belief in God has fallen the most in recent years among young adults and people on the left of the political spectrum (liberals and Democrats),” Gallup reported.
“The groups with the largest declines are also the groups that are currently least likely to believe in God, including liberals (62%), young adults (68%) and Democrats (72%). Belief in God is highest among political conservatives (94%) and Republicans (92%), reflecting that religiosity is a major determinant of political divisions in the U.S.”
Gallup also asked American adults whether God hears prayers and whether God intervenes when people pray.
Of the American adults who believe in God, 42% said God hears prayers and can intervene on a person’s behalf. Another 28% said God hears prayers but cannot intervene, while 11% think God can’t hear prayers or intervene.

Yes, I certainly believe in God. I believe He hears and answers prayers although sometimes that does not have the outcome you’d like! He has plans for us that we can’t always see ir predict.

God is real and I am a testament to this. When my beloved died in 2004 I was bereft beyond belief. I was absolutely consumed with self-pity, so much so that God granted an intervention. He sent an angel to visit with me for just a few minutes. She explained that God had rewarded my husband for a life well-lived and took him to Heaven and out of the pain of his cancer. I didn’t know he was in pain as he hid it from me. The angel assured me that God had not abandoned me and that it was my duty to go on with my life and do what God has in store for me and I will be reunited with my husband when God chooses.. After six months of mostly crying and sleeping, giving up on friends and losing 50 lbs. I got back to living and have been fine ever since. God is indeed real and watching over all of us.

I agree 💯- God works in mysterious way, and many times we don’t understand the outcome of the particular circumstance(s), but at the end, we can see the results & the answer to our prayers.

I, for one, believe God is real. You have to have Him in your heart to know He is real. I suggest all who are reading this should trust Him, so He can save you from going to hell. Just ask Him to come into your heart and save you. You have to believe that He is the son of God and that He died on the c ross to save you from an eternal hell.

God gave us free will to make our own mistakes
He doesnt intervene with blunders we’ve made using our own free will

Yes, and God meets us at whatever stage we are in. Sincerely asking God to come and be your Lord and Savior and to forgive you for all your sins is all he asks. It is up to the individual.

I was surprised to read in the article that 28% of the people polled said God hears prayers but cannot intervene, while 11% think God can’t hear prayers or intervene. If you believe that God created the world and us, then it follows that He is all powerful and indeed capable of intervening for us. However, HIS plan for the outcome isn’t necessarily OUR plan, as He sometimes permits us to go through trials in order to increase our faith and trust in Him. Imagine an artist’s canvass — we only see one side of it whereas He can see BOTH sides and knows things that we do not. The best way to have a closer relationship with Him is to read the Bible and get to truly KNOW Him.

This definitely shows why our government is going in the direction it is today. They worship their money, their power and believe that no one can change what is going on. They are in for a big surprise. I am so sad that so many don’t believe that God can answer our prayers or that He even can’t intervene. He is the Almighty God, He created everything and everyone. He is awesome and He will always be my Savior and Lord. He has answered my prayers and saved my life from drowning when I got caught in a flood at my farm. He loves everyone no matter what is going on in their lives, even if they are going in the wrong direction. They just need to turn around before it is to late. If they die before they accept Him or when Jesus returns to earth on Judgement Day it is too late. Please people turn around and come to God as your Savior.

You said it as well as anyone could. God is good , God is Great 👍 and God loves each of us as his own children. He is Abba , Daddy,
And we just need to call on him and try to do his will, and if we fall , ask him as our Daddy to forgive us and know he loves us and wants us to be with him for all eternity .

I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ because he came into my life when I asked him to and now… I am and have been a child of God for more than 40 years … That which is born of the flesh is flesh … and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit… marvel not that Jesus said … you must be born again…… if you are only born once … you will die twice. If you are born twice .. you will only die once…. and then live with Jesus in the Kingdom of God … and all those who have trusted Him for the forgiveness of sins.

The problem with Americans is that Christians say they believe in God, but then voted for a group of people who not only hate God, but hate Christians, and think abortion is a “right”. The Constitution in now way says abortion is a “right”, but the left thinks they are able to spin enough lies to confuse their base into thinking it is. God is in the process of disciplining BOTH of these groups, Christians and leftists. You can see the hints of what will befall the left in November. God has to unveil the enemies of freedom, and then challenge THE PEOPLE to do their job and vote these criminals out of office. We’ll just have to see if Christians will be wise enough and devoted enough to God to accept that responsibility. If not, we deserve a spanking from God. That ain’t a good thing as you can see by the recent collapse of EVERYTHING.

I think that the reason why so few people believe that God hears and/or answers prayers is because so many people believe in “instant gratification”. They pray and expect immediate results, and don’t realize that God doesn’t work that way. He answers most prayers by guiding you in the right direction, or guiding someone into your life so they can assist you in your journey. Because of His great gift, and great curse, of free will, He will not make anyone do anything. Earlier generations had no problem saving up for something they wanted to purchase, and were willing to wait. Today, too many want everything now, so they amass huge debts rather than saving. Then, they pray to God to bail them out. He probably tells them to first lead a more moderate life and to give up what they do not need, and they probably promptly ignore Him, and then say God doesn’t answer prayers.

I am 79 years of age. I have accepted Christ as my Saviour many many years ago. I get up in the morning and the first thing I say is, “Thank you Lord for another day.” He is always by my side. My latest hardship was the death of my husband after 4 years of illness. He got me through this and I could go on and on. No need.

God is real and He gave us the most precious gift ever in his Son Jesus Christ. People call on God like He is a genie waiting to get them out of trouble, so they can go back and continue in their sins. God answers prayers that believers send up to him. If a person has never put their faith in God and been born again into his kingdom, He may hear your prayer’s, but He is under no obligation to answer them. Life as we know it is about to change, for the worse, and i pray that everybody receives his Son, Jesus Christ (Yahusha) before this dark world becomes even darker. The time is now to receive Jesus Christ. People who wait until the 12th hour to receive Jesus usually perish in the 11th hour. Eternity is a long time to regret not making that decision while there is still time.

I believe El (the being you are calling God) exist. I just don’t find him worth my worship.
I believe there are thousands of gods, but the god taught by the church does not exist. They have taken a real god (El, the god of Abraham) and have used him to create a fantasy.

God has a plan for our lives! He does answer prayers, but in His timeframe! Depending on what is asked of Him, He may not answer right away, but when He does respond with the reply that He intends for your life plan, it may not be the response you expected. BUT it is always better!!
