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

Pure atheistic arrogance and hubris.

It's called "statistics."

It's sort of like "As people become more educated, they tend to be less conservative."

Depends on what is meant by "educated." One can be educated inb line with the doctrines of the Third Reich. Nazis also had contempt for Christianity and thought of themselves as "progressives."

Yes, but none-the-less true for some people, especially in the sciences. Their education puffs them up like prideful balloons and they find it gloriously uplifting to worship themselves and their own perceived intelligence.

I think it is somewhat true. As I became more educated I started to wonder why a God, who won't prove his existence without a doubt, would want us to worship him or go to hell. I still believe in God, but I am starting to reject the dogma of the Catholic church.
