Sure, it's not a guarantee; it just correlates. Hell, you can't even infer causality from that. A popular interpretation of that data is that kids get indoctrinated during their higher education, which makes them less religious.
Most YECs that I've talked to for any length of time are fairly well educated. They tend to know enough about science to make it sound like they know what they're saying and to obfuscate when they've crossed from science to pseudoscience. If you want a great example of this, talk to a modern geocentrist and get them to explain why gravity doesn't exist.
