I could have sworn I too had seen at least one study demonstrating a negative correlation between education and religion. But for the life of me, I can't come up with the evidence.
According to that study, the percentage of people who attend religious services at least once a month holds pretty steady across all levels of education. Unfortunately there's no breakdown of how conservative/fundamentalist those various religious services are, so it's hardly definitive proof. But it does make me wonder a little.

In fact, the 1996 National Household Education Survey on adult civic involvement in the US seems to counter that idea.
