And that is my point. Contrary to popular belief (here anyway) it is not. Like I mentioned above. 52% of people with a higher education degree are religious.

And a decade ago, it was higher.  A decade before that, it was higher still.  It's DOWN to 52%.  In another decade it will be below 50%.  In a country where more than 70% of people claim to be religious, having those with a higher education only be barely above 50% is significant.  Of course, you refuse to acknowledge that.
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide mankind that cannot be achieved as well or better through secular means.
