Were any of the educated also evangelical's?
I don't know, he didn't say. I think evangelicals would probably be all those under the banner of considering themselves born again Christians. Sorry if you do not find this interesting. I thought it was very interesting.

I guess I don't find it interesting because I know statistics can be manipulated.

Of course they can. But that doesn't mean we should close our minds to all satistics that go against what might be convenient to believe. If divorce rates are high (and we know they are) then maybe we need to figure out why.
