It would follow that at least after awhile, highly educated countries should see precipitous drops in religion--despite birth rates. While that has been the prediction for hundreds of years, that's not the case. There are more Christians and Muslims every year--even in developed countries.. Perhaps your arguments are not as convincing as you think they are.

Gallup is your friend. Look especially at the most religious countries.

More interesting was 52% of people with higher education are religious. Hmm, I though that education was going to eradicate religion. Higher education means these are not children of Christians in some backwater village bumping the numbers up.
