Theophobia
One of the things that we have always found intriguing about the field of academia was that those in the field seemed to be less religious (on the whole) than the general population. In fact, we have been kicking this issue around the last couple of days and found that many of our friends that we consider to be ultra-academics (professors, teachers, etc.) are also less religious on average than other friends who may not be so academically-inclined.
