I'd say alot of people believe there is a god, but a very small percentage know anything about it.
They know "God will save me. Love thy neighbour. I will go to heaven. Pray. Jesus rocks. God has a plan. Sin is bad." But very few of them take the time to analyse their gods and beliefs properly. My parents being a great example of this. They just cherrypick a few facts and look no further, then check the "catholic" box on the surveys having never read the bible. I'm sort of in agreement with Dotard, not many people have thorough, concrete beliefs, just a few abstract ideas which could be torn to pieces in 5 minutes by any one of us (because they haven't thought in enough depth to defend their position).
Might be different in other countries. But here in England, most people believe in heaven, god the father, and beyond that they have nothing to say on the matter (but still tick the christian box on a survey).
