Those are interesting results. Then again those who are thinking for themselves and actively learning tend to have fluxuating beliefs - and I would hate to think that someone has obstinate convictions at fifteen years old - in either direction, really. I wonder how many survey results change drastically year by year in this period of a person's life. And I think that's really a good thing.

So, it is as many say then. "It's education, stupid."

Education isn't about learning what to think; it's about an individual learning how to think. When you've got that in hand, you've got the tools to think out things for yerselves. Even when faced with religon... and/or every hundreth untruth one is faced with on a daily basis.
