Ecklund and Scheitle concluded that the assumption that becoming a scientist necessarily leads to loss of religion is untenable.

Righto. Please point out where I stated otherwise.

Among scientists, as in the general population, being raised in a home in which religion and religious practice were valued is the most important predictor of present religiosity among the subjects.

While this is no doubt true, it does not invalidate my point. More of those scientists who were raised in believing homes remained faithful. This says nothing whatsoever about the percentage of believing scientists as compared to the general population.

There is a definite correlation between years of schooling and loss of religious faith.

Why do you keep denying your own post?

The only study sited on this thread related to your claim, refutes it.
