I am well educated. I got me a degree in high school and I am also very religious. So your argument is moot.

Not really, consider it takes 12 years of brainwashing to get a person to the point that they can function marginally in this society.
Of course religious training is just as much a means of brainwashing as any other.
To be spiritual is to intentionally unlearn all the cultural and religious programming and wake up to our inner self. There is a reason that the Buddhist say that if on your path you encounter the Buddha to kill him, there is a reason that Buddha predicted that one day when everyone forgets all about the Buddha another enlightened person will arise called the Maitreya.
Which is more intelligent a calculator or the mind that creates mathematics, we have many people walking well worn paths, but they lack the courage to go out on a limb and think out of the box.
Don't be a victim of the limitations of consciousness that we are bombarded with.
Believe me there's more than one way to skin a cat.

There is a difference between being a religious and a devoted person. A religious individual is someone who commits their time to their church by performing daily rituals and sanctimonious ceremonies in order to achieve piece of mind.
However, a devoted follower is committed to their religion regardless of their education and not necessarily religious.
There are well educated people who are religious leaders in this world. And there are very intelligent people who are in both worlds too.
Those atheists who are educated in the secular society only seem to be intelligent by using critical thinking with man's knowledge which cannot save them supernatural forces beyond this world..
