The question holds a basic, and obvious, flaw; highlighted by one or two of the answers.
It asks if people, ".... believe in God, Heaven and Hell?"
The obvious answer is a simple "Yes!"; but the obvious flaw is of exclusivity, highlighted by respondents telling us their own beliefs.
God (with a capital 'G'), Heaven and Hell are constructions of versions of the three Abrahamic religions, and some of the replies follow suit by being statements of sincere but purely personal, Christian belief.
However, although the Hebrew-rooted Judaism and Christianity are indeed the predominant and still very strong religions of Russia, Europe and the Americas, they are [i]not[/i] the only ones world-wide, nor even in "The West".
A far better question is:
".... are people still religious?"
To which of course the answer is "Yes!" - but they may be Christian, Jews, Muslims, Hindi, Sikh, Buddhist, regional / aboriginal, pagan ....
Each a religion as valid for its own followers, as the others are for theirs!
