Except that many highly educated people are also into religions :(

Childhood indoctrination works wonders to keep you scam going.

Plenty of educated religious people are converts. I was raised atheist and converted to Buddhism in my late teens. The same was true of many of the other students in my university's religious studies department.

The fact is, being religious doesn't depend on lack of education or childhood indoctrination. People will still be religious in the absence of those things.

I think that more than a few highly successful people who are both religious and not stupid, have realized what religion actually is and manipulate it to their advantage.

Not all, but I suspect there's more than a few.
