An interesting article in the Economist this week on how Americans perceive God: 31% view him as a crazy and violent freak who punishes sinners and rules with an iron fist. Here is the rest of the breakdown, as interpreted by HMG:
- God is a “nice guy” who forgives anything: 23-29% of the US population
- God watches everything, but does not always intervene: 16-21% of the population
- God exists, but he could care less about humans: 24% of the US population
Finally, 90% of the population believes in some kind of God and 19% believe that God favors America.
