Sociology of Religion has just published a study by Neil Gross and Solon Simmons on US professors’ belief in God.
Unsurprisingly, the American professoriate is less religious than the general population. But as the study shows, 35% of those surveyed believe absolutely that God exists, while another 17% believe so with some reservations, which is not small by any means.
