[David Sklansky]

Another well thought out post. But you wasted a lot of words. Because once you said:

"It is a simple fact, shown in poll after poll, that the higher one's level of education, the lower a person's religious fervor is (on average). This is especially true of people educated in the physical sciences (particularily physics a field that flys directly in the face of most literal religious belief)."

It is of little importance whether poker players are in a similar group. I'm sure they are. But those debating the other side are not interested in proving me wrong about that if it doesn't imply that your quoted statement above is also wrong.
