Survey Finds Few Americans Attribute Suffering to God

A survey published by the Pew Research Center found that most American adults don’t blame God, but rather people and society, when bad things happen. The survey asked the respondents, “in your own words, why do you think terrible things happen to people through no apparent fault of their own?” 35% of the respondents see terrible things as random events. 13% mentioned that bad things happen due to God’s will. The survey also asked the respondents to choose who they blame for the suffering in the world from a list of options. 71% believe that suffering is mostly a consequence of people’s own actions. 69% chose that suffering is mostly a result of the way society is structured. 80% of respondents who believe in God, think that the suffering in the world comes from the actions of people, not from God.
