94% said they believed in a GOD who was personified, that is, as Man is made in God’s image, therefore, GOD shares characteristics with man. See the Sistine Chapel ceiling by Michelangelo for his pictorial of God.

TOO much religion? Or, when is TOO much, TOO much?
The bi-monthly “AARP The Magazine” for September/October, 2007, at p. 59, by Bill Newcott, includes a study on religious beliefs of Americans over 50 years of age. 1,011 people were surveyed.
To the statement, “I believe in life after death” 73% agreed. More women (80%) than men (64%) shared that belief. 86% responded positively to the question, “Do you believe in Heaven?” But a second question showed that only 40% believe it is a place while 47% think it is a state of being.

76% believe in Hell. Curiously, 23% of all respondents said they believed in re-incarnation. 60% of women and 44% of men say they believe in ghosts or spirits are inhabiting this world. 64% of Baby Boomers believe in ghosts but only 38% of the remaining Greatest Generation do.
But most encouraging to me is this: 77% of the respondents said they were not worried or frightened about what happens to them after their death. As Alfred E. Neuman asked 4 decades ago, “What, me worry?”
