Frank Sulloway of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Michael Shermer of the California State University conducted a study that found in their polling sample of "credentialed" U.S. adults (12% had Ph.Ds and 62% were college graduates) 64% believed in God, and there was a correlation indicating that religious conviction diminished with education level.
Iste godine, Frank Sulloway s Massachusetts Institute of Technology i Michael Shermer s Kalifornijskog državnog sveučilišta sproveli su anketu u kojoj je odabran uzorak odraslih visokobrazovanih osoba (12% osoba je imalo doktorat, a 62% je imalo završeni fakultet) 64% je vjerovalo u Boga i dokazana je veza koja je pokazivala da vjerska uvjerenja opadaju s razinom obrazovanja.
