From memory again I remember Pew research showing a correlation between education, especially higher education, and atheism in the states.
For many years atheism has been higher among the scientific community, given the need for critical thinking and objectivity perhaps no surprise, but in the elite US National Academy of sciences atheism almost mirrors theism in the general population.
Some theists seem to have noticed.
“A survey of all 517 NAS members in biological and physical sciences resulted in just over half responding. 72.2% were overtly atheistic, 20.8% agnostic, and only 7.0% believed in a personal God. Belief in God and immortality was lowest among biologists. It is likely that those who didn’t respond were unbelievers as well, so the study probably underestimates the level of anti-God belief in the NAS.”
Ignoring the theistic rhetoric, those figures seem about right from memory.
Though unsurprisingly the theists in that article seem to be rather missing the point. Like the theists who come here and make the risible assertion that objective scientific facts don’t or even can’t exist.
I also spotted this on that web site…
“Ask most atheists why they don’t believe in the God of the Bible, and their answer will ultimately come back to the character of God. Sure, they might mention the lack of “evidence,” hypocrisy in the church, and so on—but when it comes right down to it, they have a problem with God.”
How can theists keep getting such a basic fact wrong?
