I agree with Kneville, it can be hazardous to talk on the phone, text, scream at kids, put on make-up, eat fast food, receive pleasure, drink, or take any other depressants--while you're driving a vehicle capable of killing people. And simply because you think you can multi-task is not suffice enough for me; you'll be sorry when you accidentally slip up. I'd rather play it safe than sorry; keep your damn eye's on the road.
And, if I see a police officer talking on his phone while driving his little patrol car: I'll be the first to issue a citizens citation.
Most religions don't believe in supernatural phenomenon and the question posed has nothing to do with the supernatural--it has to do with religion. I think I have answered that sufficiently.
To answer the new question: are educated people less likely to believe in supernatural phenomenon such as: ghosts, aliens, magic, tarot cards, fortune tellers, etc.?
Well, I can't speak of other educated people, but I have graduated from college and I've come to the conclusion that what many would call supernatural I would call fiction. However, I do believe that we are spiritual beings--with that comes the possibility of ghosts.
I think you need to clarify the question next time.
What is religion anyway? A set of philosophies and values that affect the roles we play in society. I think education, especially in the U.S., has done its best to eradicate the values that do not correlate with the idea of Capitalism. Most religious values conflict with the idea of capitalism and consumerism--hence they are blockages to the people who stand to make a lot of money.
Are educated people less likely to be religious: No. They are religious, they merely value other things. Instead of valuing people, nature and relationships, they are taught to value the almighty dollar.
