I wonder what those statistics looked like in 1950 at the dawn of the atomic age. I would suggest that those stats have more to do with the prevailing indoctrination in our institutions of higher learning. Conversely, how many Notre Dame grads retain their beliefs. If that number matches the stats you put up, it would certainly get a more serious consideration from me.
