College's effect on religiosity

God and Majors (Hat tip: Tyler Cowen)

My university like many others had a couple regular evangelists preaching about the Godlessness of our studies to any students within hearing distance whether they were paying attention or not. Interestingly, they might have been onto something. The humanities and social sciences, it seems, have a significantly negative effect on religiosity.

...At least now I can blame economics for my piss-poor 'spirituality, sense of purpose, and faith'.
