"tend to be more religious" does not mean "are the only place where a majority believe in some vague or specific version of Deism or Theism."
The studies you cited only outline that, in fact, "poor and less educated" DO tend to be more religious than the rest of the population.
Like 90%>66%, No?
That is what "tend to be more" means.
But also "religious" is different from "accepting polytheist or restrictive monotheist."
well, the figure was thought to be much lower. the study of scientist was conducted because it was assumed that the majority were atheist. the study of scientisf quashes the misconception that all scientist are atheist .

Whoever thinks that all scientists are atheists is one who doesn't really think.
One biologist that is very religious is Kenneth Miller and he accepts and teaches evolution so anyone with the misconception that you must be an atheist to accept evolution is also wrong.
although faith is prevalent in america, it is commonly assumed that people with low socioeconomic status and education tend to be more religious than the rest of the population
however, the studies illustrate that this mmisconception is not the case, and that educated also believe in a god or creator
When people ask you a question, try actually answering it.

Who exactly ever said that all scientists are atheists. In fact many of us have said just the opposite right here on this forum.

This has been known among atheist sites and hangouts for a while now, it wasn't a secret from any good portion of them. It is usually some specific types of monotheists (and even polytheists) that try to say that scientists are biased or untrustworthy because they aren't cronies to the same entity(s) and by that mere fact would work actively to delegitimize their specific theist ideas, mythologies, or descriptions.
i wasnt alive during the terrible times of hitler and stalin. whether it is hitler, stalin or the cultural revolution, these times exemplified the worse of humanity. although i wasnt alive, i have read countless accounts of hitlers cruel acts , so i know how robotic the dictator was in regard to human life. although the evil hitler was a different era, he remains as a relevant talk point in debates and foreign policy to remind humanity of its past cruelty.
i have never read mein kampf. but he was terrible to the disable who he viewed as weak.
Not completely. He had no problems with war disabilities, or accidents of birth. Goebbels had what we call a Klumpfuß, for example. Sorry, I do not know the English for that, but it is were one or both feet turn inwards when the baby is born.
However, we do have a stumbling stone* near us where a young boy was murdered because he had some mental condition. If the Nazis thought the disability was a negative to society, then the disabled person was killed.

Only near the end, when there were insufficient men to fight. It is tragic to see the pictures, not only because they were young, but many looked happy to be fighting for Hitler.

Indeed.
* A Stolperstein or stumbling stone is a small brass plate in the ground to mark the homes of people who were victims of the Nazis. Most of them naturally mark Jewish homes, and most of them say the Jews were killed.

If that was the assumption (I'm not sure that it was) then the assumption turned out to be wrong -a minority of scientists are theists. So what about it?
