From the article:
And its mostly right, according to a new analysis of Pew Research Center surveys released Wednesday (April 26)........
But there are exceptions.
The big however, Smith said, is that Christians the majority (71 percent) of American adults dont seem to fit the pattern at all.......
Christians with higher levels of education (70 percent, combining all measures) appear to be just as religious as those with less schooling (73 percent of those with some college and 71 percent with some high school), according to the analysis
Interesting findings.

Going to services weekly and observing strict dietary restrictions and prayer times?
I've heard the same sermon at three different mainstream denominations and a off-mainstream church, and hear it at student assemblies. "Be nice." At church, it's "be nice because Jesus." At student assemblies it's "be nice because student solidarity." No demand; no real penalty; no enforcement; just a nice platitude. It's the kind of thing which, as a religious, is inoffensive to all but die-hard atheism. Even then, it's still fairly compatible apart from some phoneme strings and the reason for that awesome platitude.)
(In fact, there's even a motivational speaker who sells hats, "Dude, be nice!" (at, appropriately, https://www.dudebenice.com/ ).
