The problem I see with this survey is that the survey centers on the belief in the “Biblical God.” That phrase is pretty broad and open to some legitimate debate.
Does a “Biblical God” have a bunch of human qualities some of the time, and yet is far above human foibles at other times and as described in the different Books of the Bible? Do descriptions in some Books or Testaments trump descriptions in others, or is God a hodgepodge of all the descriptions?
We will all know someday.

It’s an unfortunate circumstance that God has strived to make Christians out of pretty flawed folks. The bar is set pretty low to become a Christian. In fact, you need to be an admitted sinner, who for the time being at least is striving to act better. I am not surprised when we fail.
