[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP and another Ivy grad, with kids formerly in private and now in public magnets, who is serious about faith.

I'm also "well educated" enough to understand that you're not going to get anything like a statistically valid sample of "educated" people by polling only people who go private AND visit DCUM....[/quote]

OP, you don't seem terribly bright or well-educated yourself. And it's also pretty clear you're atheist or agnostic. So, in line with your own methodology here, can we extrapolate from these details about you to a conclusion that all atheists and agnostics are as dumb as you?[/quote]

I'm the OP here, and no I did not write the above quote, nor in any of my posts did I give any inclination of what I thought the results would be.  Some of you are getting me confused with other posters.  As I stated in a previous post, the reason I asked this question was because I just finished reading a book where the author made a claim about wealthy, highly educated families and religious attendance.  Basically, what he said was that over the past few decades religious attendance has gone down in society overall, but in the middle and lower classes attendance has dropped even more than among the wealthy and highly educated, where religious attendance (once children are in the picture), has remained fairly stable.  I posted on this board just to get a sense as to whether the responses would support this claim.  I understand that I can't place a whole lot of validity to the answers from such a small sample, it's not like I'm writing a dissertation; just figured I'd run it by this board to see what kind of answers I'd get.[/quote]
