This article, published in the Social Forces journal,  examines the changing association between higher education and reporting no religious affiliation in the United States. Using more than three and a half decades of repeated cross-sectional survey data, the author discusses how the results relate to changes among the college-educated population, the religious deinstitutionalization of the non-college-educated, cultural diffusion across social statuses, and other cohort-appropriate social and cultural changes.
