Why Educated Christians Are Sticking With Church

There are at least two different ways to think about the relationship between education and religiosity: how schooling affects belief, and how it affects practice. Pew's researchers looked at data from a number of recent surveys, including their 35,000-person study of American religion from 2014. They found that educated people are generally less likely to believe in God: Among all U.S. adults, only 83 percent of college grads said they think God exists, while 92 percent of people with only a high-school degree or less said the same.
