That’s impossible! Atheists are the smartest people in the world - just ask them.
Not attending church doesn't necessarily mean being atheist. There seems to be a lot of people fed up with churches because they are religious.
I recently posted something similar to this. That was a study dispelling the notion that people become less religious as they become more educated.
Romanticism/feminism have been rough on families formerly practicing their traditional belief systems in western culture countries. Those families are quite scattered, and most, no longer able to compete but only to try to survive.
We’re more ancient Roman or European Renaissance in some facets of social/religious nature, and most well-to-do folks don’t have any complaint about that. That’s one of the reasons that I, for example, left my former religion and became more monotheistic. See some of the leading men of early America and why they were “deists.” ...and why Puritans, Huguenots, all, got a little closer for a short time. Then...the effects of further floods from Europe later on (1800s, holidays, etc.).
Maybe there’s a big change ahead for all.

Well...We are!

If you give them $10 Million dollars, they will invent another "study" to "prove" it.
