I WORKED FOR THE GALLUP POLL FOR 6 MONTHS BACK IN THE MID-'90S. I
LEFT BECAUSE I WAS TURNED OFF BY EMPLOYEES LEAVING RELIGIOUS PAMPHLETS
IN DESK DRAWERS. I THOUGHT IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE, I FELT
UNCOMFORTABLE, AND I SIMPLY DIDN'T WANT TO WORK AROUND "RELIGIOUS
ZEALOTS."

"The most profound purpose of polls is to see how people are
responding to God," George Gallup Jr. said after giving the spring
commencement speech at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. "When I
ask a question on these subjects, what I'm always trying to find out
is: 'Are we doing the will of God?'"
"The world knows a lot about Jesus, but do they know him?" Gallup
asked the commencement crowd. "It is for the churches to seize this
moment, to take the vague spirituality of the day and turn it into a
faith that is solid and transformative... This is a way to unite our
country on a deep level and produce a more peaceful world."
