There are many, many others that show that religiosity and education are likewise inversely proportional. The smarter you are, the more educated you are, the less you tend to be religious. Many of these studies have been conducted solely in the United States, it isn't about poor education in other countries, it's an apples-to-apples comparison.
Then you should have dozens of citations to them. Ante up.
I've got a list of studies dating back to the 1930s at home, I'll have to look it up, but you can always check out the University of Rochester meta-study that looks at 63 different studies done and comes to that conclusion. Anted up.

There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
