If you want to use the beliefs of the different degrees then the closer you get to the social sciences the higher the atheism. Psychology being the major with the highest amount of atheism. Another thing is that going through basically any undergrad school increases belief in paranormal things but grad school decreases beliefs. (if you want the studies i read i will have to try to remember what book i read that cited the studies and explained the results)
If you could do that, I would appreciate it. I’m pretty certain I’ve read the opposite with regards to rates of atheism by scientific discipline.
I could not remember the original book i read it in but i did a little research and here ,here agree with me, here seems to agree with the previous ones though mentions a theory that says that it is distance from the study of religion that predicts religiosity (that this study doesn’t support), and this article seems to support the idea.
Reminds me i should write up a post about the supposed mental health benefit of religiosity.
