Read to Rid Yourself of God

Andrew Sullivan of The Daily Dish posts this latest study on his blog. Apparently (and I'm not one bit surprised), your major in college affects your belief in God.

My favorite part:

Being a humanities or a social science major has a statistically significant negative effect on religiosity—measured by either religious attendance and how important students consider the importance of religion in their lives. The impact appears to be strongest in the social sciences.

I am glad humanities can redeem themselves thanks to the shackles that they weaken or remove. I suppose all that reading teaches humanities majors there is better company here on earth.
