Evolution of irreligion
Christian Century, Oct 18, 2005
EVOLUTION OF IRRELIGION: Scholars in the natural sciences are more likely to declare themselves nonreligious than their counterparts in the social sciences, according to a survey released by the Association for the Sociology of Religion. This finding is in contrast to the results of some studies in the mid-20th century that revealed that the social sciences tended to be the least religious of all academic disciplines.
The recent study indicates that biology is the least religions of disciplines (63.4 percent of biologists declared themselves nonreligious) and economies is the least nonreligious (45.1 percent) (Chronicle of Higher Education, September 2).
