Belief in a traditional God
A question used since 1914 (Leuba):
- I believe in a God to whom one may pray in the expectation of receiving an answer. By ãanswer,ä I mean more than the subjective, psychological effect of prayer
- I do not believe in God as defined above
- I have no definite belief regarding this question
-
The question is not particularly good, because it does not differentiate between atheism and belief in a ãnon traditionalä God
However, Leuba measured the belief of scientists in 1914 and 1933 using directories of major scientists, as well as among the scientific elite
