A new Harris Poll finds that the amount of U.S. adults who believe in God is declining — along with some pretty other interesting facts about beliefs when it comes to religion and the supernatural.

A strong majority, 74%, of U.S. adults say they believe in God, but that’s down from the 82% who expressed a belief in god just 4 years ago. Belief in miracles, heaven and other religious teachings also declined according to the poll.

Watch the video for some more surprising findings from the study.

Are you surprised by what this study has found? Are the numbers higher or lower than what you would have expected?

  2. Ugh, she answers the ? “Are you an atheist” with “I’m an agnostic”.
    That’s not an answer. Gnosticism deals with knowledge not belief. If you do not actively believe in a god you ARE an atheist. You can be (as most are) an agnostic atheist ( I neither know nor believe in a god, or a gnostic atheist ( I know there are no gods), a claim I can’t imagine backing-up.
    Just as you can be an agnostic theist (like mother Teresa) or a gnostic theist (equally unlikely to back-up).
    Saying “I’m an agnostic” is NOT saying “I’m neither an atheist or theist”!

    1. one can believe in many spiritual matters of existence with out adhering to the attributes of an extra human godhead. Atheism as practiced today is a disbelief of Many more things than simply theism ((as pertains to a holy state, a godhead, or wisdom of Divine Origin.))

      1. “Atheism as practiced”?

        If atheism is a ‘practice’, then not collecting stamps is the ‘practice’ of not practicing stamp collection.

        Atheism = a lack of belief in gods

        That’s it.
