God still resides in peoples heart, claims a research done by Scott Schieman. His subject of research is on People"s beliefs about how God is directly involved in their personal life and well-being.

Sociology Professor Scott Schieman has found new patterns about these beliefs and the ways they differ across education and income levels.

Schieman said: "Many of us might assume that people of higher social class standing tend to reject beliefs about divine intervention. However, my findings indicate that while this is true among those less committed to religious life, it is not the case for people who are more committed to religious participation and rituals."

82 per cent people confessed they depended on God for help and guidance in making decisions, while 71 per cent believed that the good and bad is simply part of God's plan for them.While 61 per cent think that God has determined the direction and course of their lives.

God, thus is believed to be the source of the course of life. This dependence on one hand is a good news but on the other raises the concern that God should be the guiding light and not an excuse for one's doings.
