The more uneducated and ignorant a society, the more likely it is to be religious. The more educated and knowledgeable a society, the more likely it is to be non-religious.

Religion V Education

Knowledge is the antithesis to superstition.

The more real facts are known the less of a gap there is for theistic explainations, so less religion. As the meercat says Simples You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

It's been that way for centuries. Reason and education removes ignorance.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity. Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist. You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
I think we all said the same thing in slightly different ways.

Quote:Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. 
Because relying on "Faith" is not a good way to go about knowing things.

Religion is a by-product of ignorance, hence the less ignorant (by having more education), the less religious. IMHO ignorance is a far worse deal than religion as its the land where religion flourishes.
There are some theists however, that do get smarter, but then pride gives them pause because they have already committed to religion. |
