Other studies concur with that trend. Mainline protestant religions suffer some of the largest losses to evangelicals. Presbyterians are often listed as one with greatest losses. Surprisingly, Catholics also tend to lose less to evangelicals even though the number of new priests is dropping in major numbers. I believe an average age of a Catholic priest is somewhere above 60.
View the curriculum taught in an evangelical college. Heavy in communication and other courses to teach, for example, how to influence people with the 'right' facial expressions. Most advanced math appears to to be high school algebra or what is called 'business math'. Science is rarely found. Without those two disciplines, then one is rarely going to ask damning questions. And often knows that observation alone is sufficient to know a fact.
Anyone that knows something only from observation is typically a junk scientist (not to be confused with a Christian Scientist).
