No, he didn't get better, and education doesn't "destroy" religiosity. Plenty of people as educated or more educated than Shermer are still religious.
He was an unbearable zealot that tried to force his religion down other peoples' throats, then he grew disillusioned and became an unbearable zealot that tried to force his anti-religion down other peoples' throats. The common theme is that he's an unbearable zealot. He's not some enlightened genius leading the unwashed masses to rationality. He was once just as fervent for religion as he is now fervent against religion.
Also, lulz at a degree in Psychology. A master's degree in experimental psych takes one year to complete. He completed a shitty master's program at a shitty state school.

Ad hominum. Attack his arguments, not him personally, and I might take you more seriously. My suggestion to educate yourself was an invitation to examine the other side of the argument, and make an informed decision. Don't like Shermer? How's Sagann? The point is if you get all of your Science from the Discovery Institute you're willfully remaining ignorant.
