Exercise. Playing a musical instrument. Eating salmon, avocado and nuts. All have the potential of making you smarter. Add to that the way you pray and the recipient of your prayers. At least in terms of college education, religion seems to be a factor in the attainment of a degree. That's according to a new study by the Pew Research Center that looks at the attainment of a four-year college degree in the United States according to religious affiliation.
