In a Nationscape Survey of 477,225 here are the results in terms of education and church attendance. A growing concern is the number of young adults when asked their religion reply, "None". Those of us in college ministry have often quoted the figure that 7 out of 10 high school seniors who were active in church make no spiritual connections in college. So, the take away for many is that higher education is the problem. So, WHO is most likely to say they are a "None"?
The Groups most likely to say they have NO religion by education:
Less than high school 32%
High School grad only 28%
Some College 27%
Trade School 26%
Associate Degree 24%
Bachelor's Degree 24%
Doctorate 24%
Bachelor's degree plus some graduate work 21%
Masters Degree 20%
According to this survey, the less education someone has, the greater the likelihood they will NOT be religious.
