I think another great data point to give clarity would be college degrees. 1999 is basically the start of millennial generation college attendance. Millennials are between 30-40 years old now and are the largest generation with the highest education ever in the history of the world (I believe China might be beating this record soon, if not already). Lots of correlations between level of education and lack of religion.
- tjs8rj 6y agoI wonder what this correlation looked like 150 years ago, when most colleges were religious too (including the Ivy League). Did the educated end up more religious? More likely to attend church? If so, that’d add credence to the argument that it’s not education itself that makes modern day students more liberal, it’s the educational environment that does it.
- foolinaround 6y agothis is insightful. there is an anti-Christian slant in the education world.
