I can.
You suggested an inverse correlation between education and religious belief. I suggested you are wrong, because the West is the only place religious belief is waning, while it is not the only place with access to unversal education.
In response, I offer again the explanation I posted earlier. It is wealth that depresses religious belief, because having a comfortable life tends to lessen an individual's imperative to wonder what it's all about, compared to someone for whom making a living is more of a struggle.
