Conservatives have a long history of mistrust of education. Very similar to the mistrust that organized religion has for education. The connection is: the more educated the public is, the harder it is to control them.

Really? Yet some of the greatest thinkers have come from Catholic Universities
I don't think that the case at all, organized religion sects like Jesuits, Franciscans, Dominicans, Brothers of the Holy Cross all take great lengths to educate their charges. Islam also had many scholars that were quite educated. The same can be said for the Jewish religion as well. I think you are painting quite a broad stroke with that religion and more educated brush.
