Santorum Fell for Leftist Propaganda
Rick Santorum apparently fell for the leftist claim that education makes people more secular. When I tried looking for actual evidence that might back up such a claim, the closest approximation turned out to be this article. I noticed two things: 1) Most types of college had much less loss of faith than 62%; 2) the greatest percentage of students who said they were no longer “born-again” Christians was in Catholic colleges. Maybe it was less a loss of faith than a transition to a slightly-different faith. (On the other hand, the same researcher published a more recent article that might have other data … but it's hidden behind a pay wall.)
I won't more than mention that Charles Murray has apparently found evidence that more educated Americans are more religious.
