Education and Religion
研究发现美国个人受教育程度越高越常去教堂，但高学历教派整体出席率却更低，原因在于教育既提升社交回报又削弱宗教信仰，而信仰与教派紧密相关。
In the United States, religious attendance rises sharply with education across individuals, but religious attendance declines sharply with education across denominations. This puzzle is explained if education both increases the returns to social connection and reduces the extent of religious belief, and if beliefs are closely linked to denominations. The positive effect of education on social connection is the result of both treatment and selection: schooling creates social skills and may increase people' s utility from engaging in other social activities such as church attendance. The negative effect of education on religious belief occurs because secular education emphasizes secular beliefs that are at odds with many traditional religious views.
