From Gallup.com - Belief in God correlated with socio economic status


Eighty-seven percent of Americans are basic believers in the existence of God, saying either that they are convinced that God exists or that God probably exists and they have only a little doubt that this is the case.
A slightly larger group of 92% of Americans can be classified in a group that tilts toward the existence of God, stating that at the least they think God probably exists, even though some have a lot of doubt about it.
Only 3% of Americans can be considered to be hard-core atheists, convinced that God does not exist.
Another 4% are agnostics of a sort, leaning toward a belief that God does not exist, but not sure that this is the case beyond a doubt.
Only about three-quarters of Americans with post-graduate educations or with incomes above $150,000 a year are certain that God exists or believe that God probably exists and have only a little doubt.




Barna Survey: Half of Americans Say Faith Has “Greatly Transformed” Their Life

Overall, 51% of the survey respondents said they have been greatly transformed by their faith
one-fourth (28%) said their faith has been helpful but has not produced significant transformation
nearly one out of five (17%) claimed their faith has not made much of a difference in their life.



Barna Survey: Americans Have Commitment Issues

While nearly half of the adult population attends religious services during a typical week, people’s conceptual bond to the local church remains tenuous.
Fewer than one out of every five adults firmly believes that a congregational church is a critical element in their spiritual growth and just as few strongly contend that participation in some type of community of faith is required for them to achieve their full potential

Gallup Report on American's Belief in God
12% think God probably exists, but have "a little doubt";
4% think God probably exists, but have "a lot of doubt."
Only 4% think God "does not exist, but are not sure,"
and 1% are "convinced" that God does not exist.
Women are somewhat more likely to say they're convinced than are men -- 82% to 73%.
Residents of the South are the most likely to express certainty about the existence of God (88%);
least likely are Easterners (70%) and Westerners (71%).
Naturally, weekly church attendees are particularly likely to be convinced; 94% are certain God exists.
Even more interesting is that a solid majority -- 61% -- of those who seldom or never attend church are nevertheless convinced that God exists. 1

The universe didn't magically "decide" to pop into existence on it's own. So yeah, I believe in God.
