Clarification of Question by thepeachcoach-ga on 08 Feb 2006 18:14 PST
By "people", I mean Americans who are living.

By "God", I mean anyone not atheist.  I mean belief in some sort of
higher power that could include those Gods that you mention or a
personal God (the God within us.)  I saw a statistic that >90% people
believe in (some) God but I don't remember where I saw the statistic.

By prayer, I mean praying to a Christian diety or to one's own God by
choice and free will and the prayer is not lead by someone else.

thanks!

Well, straight away I see a number of confusing problems before anyone
would dare commit to your question:

By "people", what people are you referring to specifically? For
example, do you mean Americans, or world population? Do you mean
living people or people since the beginning of recorded time?

By "God", what God are you referring to? There are idol worshippers,
sun worshippers, Allah, Jehovah, Buddah, worshippers of the earth,
sea, sky, animals, etc. There actually happen to be many "Gods" and
versions of God in this complicated and diverse world of ours and, to
make matters more confusing, often they are each known by many names.

By prayer, do you mean praying to a Christian diety exclusively or do
you mean praying to one's own God? In some faiths, you see, the
faithful are presumed to be in a constant state of prayer while others
order their daily prayers so as to perform the requisite number of
subjugations.

In short, your question is far too general without clarification. The
more specific you are the better (and faster) an answer you might
expect.
