I suppose technically, if you aren't sure, then you don't believe, but the implication of answering no in that case, is that it skews the results of the poll. If we have equal numbers of believers, non-believers, and people who aren't sure, and those that aren't sure click no, then it's going to be heavily in favour of the no catagory. In fact, if you repeated this poll with the question "Do you believe there is no god", it would once again say no because of this. I really think it needs another option.
