Religious people are less intelligent than atheists, study finds

[~AK49~]

An impeccable source...

The reality is, the difference in IQ is minimal.

Poverty creates less opportunity for education, lack of education breeds ignorance and dependence. Ignorance and dependence destroys the desire to explore and understand.

Such a cool story. I'm mirin dat dere famed intelligence.

I'm going to bed, won't be responding to anything tonight. Will just leave this here in the meantime;

Finally, the poll of scientists finds that four-in-ten scientists (41%) say they do not believe in God or a higher power, while the poll of the public finds that only 4% of Americans share this view

Let people have their faith. I am not religious, but faith helps people get through crappy situations in this crappy life, and I guarantee that no atheist rambling out their "superior" mindset will do better.

Well there's a dearth of atheists who packed up their lives onboard their failboat and headed to a Polynesian island before fucking it up and begging to their hated government to bring them home again.

Btw I believe in God. But in an atheist steered society faith in Jehovah is discouraged.

You live in the United States where political hopefuls must declare their faith before having a chance of being elected, where there's a church on every corner, with the highest religiosity of anywhere in the developed world and where the President holds prayer breakfasts.

I think you're lying about the IQ test.

Finally found the true reason why I'm dull. I'm never going to church again, never again...

Not to mention the fact that in seven different states (Arkansas, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas) atheists are still banned from holding public office.

Yea! You should crush them with your intellectual prowess.

Edit:
^^^That was me being a ****ing stupid ****. I take it back. Had some arrogant wanker do that to me last night, and it p1ssed me the **** off.

Anyway, the topic.

Does seem to me that the religious people ive known, although highly educated and intelligent, dont harshly critique the religious faith they were raised with.
Faith is more important to them.
