Don't you expect that some percentage of PhD scientists will be religious when the population they come from is like 80-90% religious? I don't see why this matters. Apologies but I don't really feel like watching another fucking prager U video so if you can summarize why this matters at some point I'd be interested. Because I think the argument that religious don't really work with science based thinking (which I assume is what you are trying to convey with that fact about PhD scientists) would be based on the fact that scientists are much less religious than the general communities they come from. For example in the US:
https://www.pewforum.org/2009/11/05/scientists-and-belief/

It's not that it's impossible to be a scientist and be religious, but that as one leans more towards evidence based thinking such as what comes from a scientist's training they tend to move away from religion. Now it's possible that the job of scientists biases towards those that already didn't have religious leanings, but I'm not sure that matters to my argument as the statement would just be in reverse.
