"I apologize for calling all religious people uneducated. Without adding fuel to the fire, I do believe however that at a certain point in intellectual ability, the percentage of 'believers' goes way down. Just my opinion even though it's not politically correct. "
I agree cyphire, but the 'education' has to be specific. They need to have studied ancient texts. Anyone who has read the 'Epic of Gilgamesh' cannot possibly still 'believe' in religion the same way. They can still follow Christ's wonderful message and teachings (do good, treat your neighbor as you woudl liek to be treated, etc), but they cannot actually 'believe' all the events unfolded the way the bible says they did. Especially since there are writings which predate the bible and tell the same stories, just different characters.
This is what happens when stories evolve over centuries by word of mouth. Like the telephone game.
Especially in today's education system, where highly intelligent people are quite specific/specialized in their studies…they may never get aroud to studying the history of the middle east where these stories arose.
