I've got a project on religion to do for my sociology class. I've got to survey 100 people about what kind of god they believe in. I would really appreciate it if anyone would take a minute to answer these questions. Thanks in advance!

1. What kind of god do you believe in?

A. Authoritarian - God is angry at earthly sin and willing to inflict divine retribution — including tsunamis and hurricanes.
B. Distant - God is a faceless, cosmic force that launched the world but leaves it alone.
C. Other - Your beliefs don't fall into these categories
D. None - You don't believe in God.

2. Do you think Government should allow prayer in school?

I actually forgot to add a couple of the options to the survey that I posted here. The other two were Benevolent and Critical. A Benevolent God is one that sets absolute standards for man, but is also forgiving — engaged but not so angry. Critical is is one that sets absolute standards for man, but is also forgiving — engaged but not so angry. Most people that I surveyed were Benevolent. This is what I answered:

17
Male
Caucasian
1. B
2. No

I think that prayers belong in school. I don't know about other religions, but the Bible states that prayers should be done in private anyways.

Oh, and here's the link to the article that this is based on.

. . . should Jewish and Muslim taxpayers be paying to fund the teaching of Christianity?

Don't forget Mormons, Hindus, Buddhists, Atheists/Agnostic Non-Theists, etc.  Just throwing that out there.
