[what's up]

As people become more educated, they tend to be less religious

Back-handed slap at George Bush "dumbness"?

Funny...the Founding Fathers were all highly educated...and highly religious.

Somewhat less religious than their contemporaries. Jefferson springs to mind.

It isn't saying that EVERYONE who is religious is an idiot.

It's a simple factual statement that AS A WHOLE, the more educated people are (college, advanced degrees, graduate school) the less religious they are. On the whole, you see less church attendance, etc. That doesn't mean there aren't thousands of doctors and lawyers and pHDs that go to church every Sunday..there are.

It's just that the % that do is less than those with just high school educations.
