Or it may be that people with less secure beliefs feel the need to explore the world more in a desperate search for some meaning in their lives, which is why they become perpetual students, while people with fulfilling spiritual lives feel no such need.

Okay, it's just a theory. But I do get a wee bit ticked as this perpetual stereotyping of religious people as less intelligent or educated.

Another one of those cases where something it is totally forbidden to say of race (think the controversy over the Bell Curve!) it is perfectly acceptable to say of religion.
