Objective:To examine whether respondents majoring in natural science (rikei) in higher education(under graduate and graduate university) are non-religious. Methods: Data from the 2008 Japanese General Social Surveys (JGSS-2008) is analyzed. Dependent variables are 1)religious affiliation,2)devotion,and 3)confidence in religious organizations. Independent variable is whether respondents majoring in natural science (rikei)or human-social science (bunkei)in higher education. After cross-tabulation analyses,multinominal logit analyses and ordered logit analyses are conducted with the net effects of various socio-demographic and educational variables. Results: Respondents majoring in natural science are not significantly less religious than those who majored in human-social science in higher education, even though controlling various control variables. Conclusions: The widely accepted idea that those who majored in natural science in higher education are non-religious is partially rejected.
