Yes, although it is true that there are some very clever folk who are believers (always seems odd to me but there you go - nowt so queer as folk).That's a researched truth, unfortunately (or not, as the case may be).
Increased education directly proportional to decrease in religiosity.
You only need to look at the evidence.
ie: might be worth pondering why so many saints/virgin marys/associated spooks seem to have a fondness for doing day trip descendings/vocal performances/party tricks in certain types of areas. If they had an only half sussed tour manager one would expect them to go for maximum exposure/conversion possibilities by gigging in large advanced cities. But no,they have a definite fondness for distinctly rural economically undeveloped areas.
Of course there is the alternative suggestion - that so many saints decided to drop in to Italy (until recently had very low literacy) because the place is especially blessed and favoured, but I kinda doubt it somehow.
