I challenge you to show me "positive correlation" between being an atheist and being "educated."

We don't have to engage in a game of semantics with you. We know what American values are, as well as you.

One of the most important American value is the recognition of a power higher than and outside oneself. This is the primary value that our modern elites reject.

This might help. More striking regarding educational levels and opinion are the numbers about the "acceptance" of homosexuality, which are available here.
