William Paley likened the world to a watch, because it contains so many parts fitting together, every part has a purpose, this means something as complicated as the world requires a designer this may lead people to a belief in God if they think they may be the designer who created the world and gave each individual component a purpose.
2.
The World is to complex to just have 'occurred' it requires someone to make sure every single part fits together, this would required the presence of a designer, this may make people believe in God if they believe he's the designer.
3.
The only way something such as the world could have been created is by something greater, as some people believe this is a God, this would make other people searching for a purpose to believe it would be God.
4.
Everything has to have a cause and Thomas Aquinas believed if you revert back to the 'first cause' that this was God, this would make people believe in God while searching for a purpose because God caused them to be there for a given purpose

"Christian By Record" E.g. Me: according to school/CENSUS Records, they are of this religion, not necessarily true.
2.
"I'm Christian" Christians - Believe God and Jesus therefore Christian, no knowledge about the 35,000 branches within Christianity, quite a lot of people
3.
"Selective Christians" People who follow the 'good bits' of the Bible (that I agree with - Commandments etc.) and possibly some of the bad stuff (homosexuality is wrong). Go to church etc.

Literalists: Believe every word. Rare in Britain, more in 'Bible-Belt America'. Are either Gullible or stupid
