Why Are Educated People More Likely to Be Atheists?
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. https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/b...ly-be-atheists -- Bod |
