A majority of believers also pray every day, which also suggests that they expect the divine to be a personal one, with deliberation and an anticipated will to act on their behalf.

Nearly eight-in-ten U.S. adults think God or a higher power has protected them, and two-thirds say they have been rewarded by the Almighty.
It is ironic to be certain about what others believe in when not certain about one's own preferred version of God. In recent messages for instance Arlon has decided that the Almighty is, variously, a 'code of ethics', then 'the essence of nature' then on to something 'entirely abstract' and, most recently, a thing entirely 'vague and nebulous', not all of which is compatible.
Your obvious severe lack of sophistication means we will probably see your complaints ad infinitum.
I realize how difficult it is for you, but try to understand that if you cannot read the Bible because you cannot take it literally, you cannot read the opinions of people on the Bible since they are similarly artful.
I have showed you several times how surveys might find whatever they like by how they are worded.
