Not ignorant

Non-believers in the Christian faith sometimes have inaccurate, negative, condescending notions about believers. Wall Street Journal had to issue an apology back in 1993 when one of its writers described evangelical Christians as “largely poor, uneducated and easy to command.” I've known many Christians, and this doesn't describe any of them in my experience.

A quick Google search didn't show me much to support that generalization. Here's an "X" (Twitter) post that says the opposite:

"People with graduate degrees are the most likely to attend religious services weekly. This has been true in every year of the Cooperative Election Study since 2008."

Among education levels from no high school to post-college: the higher the education, the more likely these people attend weekly church services.
