The relationship between the level of religiosity and the level of education has been studied since the second half of the 20th century. The parameters of the two components are diverse: the "level of religiosity" remains a concept which is difficult to differentiate scientifically, while the "level of education" is easier to compile, such as official data on this topic, because data on education is publicly accessible in many countries. In terms of university professors, one study concluded that in the US, the majority of professors, even at "elite" universities, were religious.

  • The relationship between the level of religiosity and the level of education has been studied since the second half of the 20th century. The parameters of the two components are diverse: the "level of religiosity" remains a concept which is difficult to differentiate scientifically, while the "level of education" is easier to compile, such as official data on this topic, because data on education is publicly accessible in many countries. Different studies lead to contrasting conclusions regarding the relationship, depending on whether "religiosity" is measured by religious practices (attendance at places of worship, for example) or specific religious beliefs (belief in miracles, for example), with notable differences between nations. For example, one international study states that in some Western nations the intensity of beliefs decreases with education, but attendance and religious practice increases. Other studies indicate that the religious have higher education than the non-religious. Other studies find that the positive correlation with low or non religiosity and education has been reversed in the past few decades. In terms of university professors, one study concluded that in the US, the majority of professors, even at "elite" universities, were religious. (en)
  • Statistiska samband mellan religiositet och utbildningsnivå har studerats sedan senare halvan av 1900-talet, och diskuteras bland annat inom religionssociologi och religionspsykologi. Syftet kan vara att förstå religioners både positiva och negativa betydelse för läskunnighet, demokratisering och välfärd, att förstå läskunnighetens betydelse för spridande av läseri och nya väckelserörelser, och att förstå hur välfärd och högre utbildning i sin tur land bidra till sekulariseringen i ett land. Olika studier leder till kontrasterande slutsatser gällande om sambandet är positivt eller negativt, med anmärkningsvärda skillnader mellan generationer och länder, och beroende på om "religiositet" mäts som religionsutövande (som till exempel frekvensen av besök i religiösa byggnader) eller som religiös övertygelser (till exempel tro på mirakel eller gudomars existens).
