The Atheists of Academia
In a recent study, the Harvard Divinity School investigated “How religious are America’s college and university professors?” What they discovered was:
- 23.4% of all professors describe themselves as either atheists or agnostics.
- 36.6% of professors from the 50 best doctoral-awarding universities describe themselves as either atheists or agnostics.
- 61% of all psychology and biology professors describe themselves as either atheists or agnostics.
In contrast, only 5.2% of all Americans are atheists according to the Baylor Religion Survey.
