I remember reading a study that showed it seemed not to be the case. I was surprised by that, actually, and I wish I could find it...

Edit: Here, I think this is it - http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2003/sep/04/science.research

I haven't had the time to re-read it but, if this is not it, it's the survey it talks about.

Wha...?

Paradoxically, this is not how many scientists see it. In the US, according to a survey published in Nature in 1997, four out of 10 scientists believe in God. Just over 45% said they did not believe, and 14.5% described themselves as doubters or agnostics. This ratio of believers to non-believers had not changed in 80 years. Should anybody be surprised?

In case you were unaware, 45% non-belief is far higher than the rate in the general population...

Well, it sure depends on the country:

And, as you can see, it's not hard to find a country with just 50% of believers. I've got no data on the US, though, but there education alone can't be the sole responsible for killing religion (in case it is being killed).

Uh huh.

And the poll was done in the U.S., where polls of the general population typically show 85-95% belief.

I didn't know you worked for Swamper...

Even stronger than the negative correlation with education level, though, is the negative correlation that religiosity has with IQ. Surveys of very high IQ groups regularly reveal low religiosity, e.g. this one.

Whatever IQ might measure, people who have a lot of it tend to be less religious.

I finished the maze, I got tired from all the sinning on the way to church and decided to go to bed.

Umm.... Kangaroos in the middle east
I'm sort of trying to laugh, but the crippling idiocy and there's a new generation of kids out there growing up effectively in the middle ages is just depressing.
