It depends on the context and overall influence, not so much the level of education

No, only increased wealth. When you are rich you don't need to rely on anything supernatural to survive.

Yes.
When people have neon lights they don't need candle.

No

Not sure. There hasn’t been a study on it. Can there be an educated christian? Yes. Can there be an educated atheist? Yes.

No. You can still be educated and religious at the same time.

I know many Christians who have a phd. They're kind and intelligent.

Id flip the question.

Does ignorance lead to a rise in Religious belief?

I'd say yes.

Residents of relatively poorer countries tend to be more religious, whereas in developed and wealthier nations, the number of believers is significantly lower (Finland, for example). Faith helps the poor endure the hardships and struggles of daily life. I also chuckled at the word 'occult.' Satanism and similar ideologies are philosophies of personal freedom and hedonism, not religions - they lack a spiritual basis

Quite the opposite, increase in satanism and extreme islam have literally went viral over the past few years via social. Or maybe they just have increased visibility.

If you also correlate education and wealth, you also see the creation of entirely new global religions in the same timeframe.

I'd say yes, very much so.

Remember when in the past, people believed the Earth to be flat..?

I don't think I need to add anything else..

yes, education itself is a kind of religion. the prime example of this is qanon stating the facts of this reality, specifically to encourage anti-intellectualism. because people are being taught to rebel, to challenge preconceived notions, they are being drawn into rejecting conscious thought itself. this is the educational effect it has, in criticizing the university system and intellectual spheres for doing the same process.

people are asked to believe intellecual postulations without serious challenge, and are taken as slow people if they ask such questions too frequently. they are simply taught not to question, and 20 years down the line they may understand the ideas finally but are not equipped to dismantle them meaningfully.

except in ways that are basically incomprehsible for another 20 years. just like a cult, or a mystical martial arts education.

thus why so many intellectual societies, such as the white lotus society, have gradually merged into martial arts cult extremists bent on manipulating governmental process. it's simply what intellectualism does, same as the intellectualism of catholicism creating the same needs.

same as the militia movement.

imo its the spiritually destitute middle class who embraces atheism, the very poor are usually blindly religious, the wealthy won the material game, they turn to god, astrology, mysticism, or anything that feels exclusive
