Very true. We see the same thing with every demographic category that's "superior" according to secular society--the rich, men, and whites are all more likely to be atheist.

The Bible is also full of examples of self-worship. Saul making the sacrifice without waiting for Samuel, David sending Uriah on a suicide mission, Solomon turning away from God to serve idols, Jeroboam setting up his own holy places in hopes of cementing his earthly power, Uzziah going into the temple and trying to usurp priestly functions...and all of those kings lived in the age of prophecy and should have known better.
