Liberal elites have proved that liberal elites tend to be void of religion. One study shows that only about 1/3 of U.S. college professors know God exists and have no doubt about it.
Gee, I wonder if liberals will trust the results of the study by the liberal elites.
Below are excerpts from The Dallas Morning News, by Jeffrey Weiss.
The study was done by two sociologists, Neil Gross of Harvard University and Solon Simmons of George Mason University. They contacted 1,471 professors at religious and secular colleges and asked about politics and faith.
The purpose of their report, released on the Internet, was to assess the observation by many religious conservatives that America's universities are "a haven largely freed from religious perspectives."
Among the notable results:
• Almost a third answered "none" when asked their religion -- more than twice the percentage found in the general population.
• Science professors were the least religious. Accounting professors were the most religious.
• More than half the professors at places other than so-called "elite" universities said they absolutely believed in God. About a third of the professors at elite schools took that position. (The study used the U.S. News and World Report rankings to define elite institutions.)
• About 30 percent of community college professors considered intelligent design as a serious scientific alternative. Fewer than 6 percent of professors at elite universities took that position.
