Correlation or causation?

Have you noticed that out of the developed countries there seems to be a trend? The developed countries that have the most religion and conspiracy theorism also have the lowest overall education in math. Take America as a prime example. In America BASIC Calculus is regarded as an extremely advanced subject only taken by a very small amount of the population in undergraduate or graduate school. Is it a coincidence that the same people who believe in grey alien abductions from Roswell, flat earth, creationism, etc. are not properly educated in primary school?

Would a more rigorous early education make Americans less retarded? Or is the American education system shit BECAUSE Americans are already retarded?
