Is Sarah Palin Right?

Sarah Palin says that most college professors are unbelievers. She writes in her new book America By Heart, "Most of those who write for the mainstream media and teach at universities and law schools don’t share the religious faith of their fellow Americans." But a survey published last year in the journal Sociology of Religion found less than 10% are atheists. Here is a breakdown of the survey.
  • I don’t believe in God: 9.8
  • I don’t know whether there is a God: 13.1
  • I do believe in a higher power: 19.2
  • I find myself believing in God some of the time: 4.3
  • While I have doubts, I feel that I do believe in God: 16.6
  • I know God really exists and I have no doubts about it: 34.9
  • No answer: 2.2
