The article presents the hypothesis that college allows Christians to better find a community they can latch on to compared to those who've graduated only high school. Another hypothesis I've seen is that college acts as a sieve to divide "true believers" from nominal Christians. However, I don't see either of these hypotheses answering why this impacts Christians but not Jews or Muslims.

The Muslim one is pretty clearly a sample selection one, given that they are mostly immigrants. The pool of Muslims who:
a) Go to college
Or
b) Immigrate to the West

must be quite different from the general population of both Arab Muslims or Western Christians.
