Atheists/non-religious : is America becoming more or less educated?

That's funny, because at America's inception, over 90% of the population went to church every week. And it was a much more moral and geneous culture that valued what a person stood for rather than what they didn't, i.e. "tolerance" and "open-mindedness". This was the case until the middle of last century, although it had dipped to around 82%. But in the regard of where our society faltered (might want to look that up since it doesn't appear you obtained more than an 8th grade education noting that first paragraphs numerous syntax and grammatical errors, and who needs an education?) to the point that it is today was the late 60's, where the drug culture and hedonistic attitude prevailed, which "coincidental" was about the time that our heyday as the leading world power ended. I'm not a Bible-thumper, I just notice a correlation between means and ends.
