The more education people receive, the more religious they become?

Most people assume that as individuals become more educated, they become less less religious.
A new study however suggests that the opposite may be true.
By analyzing data from a large national survey, sociologist Philip Schwadel of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln found that people tend to become more religious - by certain definitions - as they further their education.
Mr Schwadel said: 'It all falls down to what you consider to be religious.
'If it’s simply attending religious services, then no, highly educated people are not less religious. In fact they’re more religious.'
