Another Link Re Education and Irreligion
<a href="http://www.afterecon.com/education/independent-effect-education-christianity/">I previously argued that the argument "Education is correlated with secularism" is fallacious. This article adds another scholarly article to the pile of evidence that the aforementioned argument is fallacious.
Tldr: Scientists and highly educated folks typically decide on their secularism in adolescence, before these individuals choose a career in science. This adds to an explanation from reverse causality and negates the argument that they become secular due to their improved scientific reasoning.
Note, <a href="http://www.afterecon.com/education/independent-effect-education-christianity/">as mentioned here, that highly educated folks do convert from atheism to religion at disproportionately high rates. So scientific skill seems to lead toward theism.
