You either need help or you are a fricking shill.

As a VERY broad and general rule, the more educated and more wealthy you are the less likely you are to be a devout follower of any religion.

I agree, but there are exceptions. I know plenty of doctors, engineers, professors and other professionals with both high IQ's and advanced degrees who are devoutly religious. Personally, I don't understand it, but those people do exist.

Also, I would like to clear-up a misconception. Uneducated does not equate to stupid. This was especially true in the past when not many people went to college in general. I remember something I heard Charles Murray (co-author of the "Bell Curve") say once. He talked about how in his dad's generation it wasn't uncommon to see a plumber who could talk to you about philosophy and classical music. Now that doesn't happen as much because that plumber today would not be a plumber. Instead he would be at Harvard as a snobby elite or perhaps working on Wall Street. This worries Murray because he feels the blue collar class is getting dumber because their communities are seeing a brain drain.
