Gallup Poll: 92% of Americans affirm belief in God

A poll released by Gallup yesterday confirmed what a deeply religious America continues to be. 92 percent of Americans still say “yes” when asked the basic question “Do you believe in God?” In 1947, this number was 94 percent. Considering the events over the past 60 years, this is a remarkably stable statistic to say the least.
Gallup notes that in particular, the belief in God is high across all subgroups of the population, but there are variances. Women are more likely to believe in god than men. Liberals are less likely to believe than conservatives. Young people are the least likely to believe. Those with a post-graduate education are less likely to believe than high school or college graduates. Finally, East Coast Americans are the least likely to believe in god, and Southerners are the most, with the West and the Midwest coming in equally in between.

What does Satan think about this? Blogged it at Satan’s Blog (Christian satire): http://wp.me/p14HPl-SC Check it out.
Does that number include the mormons, jehovah, unitarian and such groups? What about those who believe in multiple gods?
