A new study shows those who have completed the least amount of formal education are increasingly skipping church, as reported by MSNBC:

In the last four decades, monthly (or more) participation in religious services dropped from 50 percent of moderately educated (high school and perhaps some college) whites to 37 percent, according to the study, “No Money, No Honey, No Church: The Deinstitutionalization of Religious Life Among the White Working Class.” Attendance by the least educated (high school dropouts) dropped from 38 percent to 23 percent, by sociologists Wilcox, of the University of Virginia and Andrew Cherlin of Johns Hopkins University found. Church attendance by higher-income whites with at least a bachelor’s degree barely dipped, from 50 percent to 46 percent.
