I came across this article and was struck by this survey finding:

Asians were the least religious, leading in only one category -- religious skepticism -- and polling at the bottom of five other categories, including spirituality and religious commitment.

Later on in the article, Rhys Williams a sociology professor at the University of Chicago was quoted as having interpreted the data this way:

"Considering the high amount of Christian Asian student groups on campus these days, those should be higher," he said. However, he added, if middle-class students from India and Japan -- who tend to be more secular -- are included with the more devout Koreans, "that might have pulled down the Asian numbers."

Any other theories? The percentages by ethnic groups of students surveyed makes me kind of wonder... No, actually, I think what would be interesting to look at would be the break down of how long a student had been in this country.
