Remember back in March when “The View” co-host Joy Behar mocked Vice President Mike Pence’s Christian faith and called him “mentally ill” for talking and listening to God?
Well, a new study finds that a lot of people talk to God, and a surprising number report that God talks back.
A new survey of nearly 5,000 American adults from the Pew Research Center said that 75 percent talk to God.
And 28 percent said God talks to them.
Pew also found nearly three-quarters of people who claim no religious affiliation believe in a higher power of some kind.
While 80 percent of all respondents said that they believe in God, only 56 meant “God as described in the Bible,” and 23 said instead they meant a higher power.
