Given that there are people out there with an agenda, and a disprporionate number seem to be among the the fields of psychology, sociology and journalism, what do you think the probability is that your information may have been the result of biased survey questions and cherry picked data?

Is this really representative of scientists in general, or could it be the product of someone who wants people to think that real scientists don't believe in God?
