Why Are Educated People More Likely to Be Atheists?

Religion works more through the emotions than through reason.

The more education a person receives, the more likely they are to become
atheists (1). Non belief also increases with intelligence and income.
Residents of more educated countries see religion as less important
(link is external) in their daily lives (2).

Why are highly educated people more likely to be atheists? There are two
categories of explanation. Either religious people lack a capacity for
skepticism, or they choose to make a blind leap of faith and subscribe
to the belief system adopted by their religious community.

Ok, here's an interesting twist:

Atheists in the Pulpit: Clergy Who Are Non-Believers

Most likely there have always been atheists in the clergy, but only
recently do we have people talking about it.

What Is "The Clergy Project?"
The previously well-kept secret was brought into the open by Daniel C.
Dennett in his book with associate Linda La Scola. They published a
report, €œPreachers Who Are Not Believers,€� in 2010. The result of their
research and profiles of atheist clergy members are now published in
their book "Caught in the Pulpit: Leaving Belief Behind."

In 2011, The Clergy Project was formed. It is an online community. They
currently have 750 members, all current or former clergy members, from
many countries around the world. This community provides support and
help to members as they deal with the issues related to their loss of
belief in the tenets of their faith.

Ok, why do you never talk about your god's wife Asherah and why was
she virtually edited out of the bible?
Also if "god is everywhere", then where is Asherah?

What to that garbage you posted about God's wife?
Why would I care about a Phoenician goddess?
Why do you care?

Please some new material oh condescending one.

Anything interesting happen in your country, good
or bad? Trump do something rational that we all love
but you hate? He just past some new regulations
on federal worker. Makes a YUGE amount of sense.
That should **** you off enough to write about?

Bodyless, you appear to be anti-just-about-everything. Is there anything that you support? Make a list so I can criticise everything on it. O_o
