Since Catholics
make up one-in-five adults, it is not
surprising that their share of members with a college
degree (26%) roughly mirrors that of the general public.
One-in-five members of historically black Protestant denominations – the National
Baptist Convention (19%) and the African Methodist Episcopal Church (21%) – have a
college degree, as do members of the Southern Baptist Convention (19%).
Our study also looked at educational attainment in three categories of religiously
unaffiliated people. About four-in-ten atheists (43%) and agnostics (42%) have earned
college degrees, as have nearly a quarter (24%) of those who say their religion is
“nothing in particular.”
