1. Too vague.................
I know I believe in SOMETHING, but the traditional "God" isn't it. So my belief is SOMETHING would disqualify me from voting "no" or "not sure".
I'm rather surprised at the number of "no" votes though, what with Christianity being so popular and topical at the moment.

2. That's no fair!
The poll was taken in a country where the population shows some sign of rationality!

5. When Sufis say
'La illaha il Allah', we mean there is nothing BUT God. Goes along with the Big Bang theory of science-in the beginning there was Something, and It expanded to create everything.

7. Nope...really.
I don't. I'm not an athetist; rather, I am agnostic. My family prays for my soul. :-P Folks round these part widely condemn me to hell, so I just keep my religious beliefs to myself, generally.
