I'm not sure that athism is easier for educated people, but i think that the truth is that SKEPTICISM is easier for educated people.

It is clear that religeosity declines as educational standards rise - for whatever reason, free thinking and clear reasoning skills seem to tally with a fall in orthodoxy.

If you look at the Europan 17th and 18th Century period of the Enlightenment, first there was the reformation, then a rise in learning, then a rise in non-conformist Christianity, then the rise in public acceptance of people admitting to Atheism.

It just means that you 'mericans are catching up.

Welcome to the 18th Century!
