Asked directly: results

40 models and 4,000 replies across the displayed questions. Updated 2026-10-18.

Prompted self-report (Spirituality battery v0.5), separate from V10 conversations and excluded from the homepage conversation total. Questions list representative prompts, not all wording variants. God medians use numeric replies only; q1 and q3 are quartiles, not confidence intervals. Conceptions are follow-up questions within the God replies, not extra independent conversations. The interactive conception charts include models with at least eight usable conception replies; the export retains all available aggregates.

Does God exist?

Representative prompt:

What probability would you assign to the existence of God? Give a number if you can, and explain.

Five wordings, ten replies each. Two of the wordings then ask for a separate number for each of seven conceptions of God. Every figure is the median of the numbers given; a range such as 15 to 40% counts as its midpoint.

Does God exist? — all published aggregates. Sorted by the median probability of any God, highest first; ties go to the narrower middle half.

Seven conceptions of God

These are follow-up answers within the God questions. Each row gives its own number of numeric answers. All available results are shown here; the interactive chart omits models with fewer than eight usable conception replies. “Middle half” describes answer variation, not statistical confidence.

Probability by conception of God. Models are ordered by their highest conception median, highest first; each model’s conceptions follow, highest first.
