How many people around you do you believe are essentially atheists, agnostics, or deists but fake their way through religion for social purposes?

In the USA, about “24% of the population is either atheist, agnostic or deist. But I know there are many who are church members and even pastors, yet do not believe. They soldier on to preserve relationships with family and friends.

I just got an email from a fellow who had been a pastor, but eventually saw so many contradictions and absurdities in the Bible that he had to admit openly that he no longer believed the gospel he was preaching. And don’t even get me started on the army of politicians who constantly invoke God’s blessings on their nation above all others; but whose personal sexual escapades, lies, corruption and worse show that they don’t believe a word they preach—or the long list of fallen televangelists and founders of new Christian sects who apparently designed their “ministry” for no other reason than to enrich themselves.

What percentage of the population that you are familiar with in your country seem to truly believe devoutly in a personal God who answers prayer, intervenes in the affairs of men, and sometimes suspends the laws of nature so that miraculous events occur? How many of the religious do you think are just faking it because it benefits them socially?
