actually 'then' works.
Study finds religious people are less intelligent then atheists. Meaning, atheists are even less intelligent. You dig dog?

I accept this study as long as I accept blind spot bias studies alongside it. Blind spot bias seems to be more acute in intelligent people - according to studies. So what do we make of that when combined with this study? That would tell us that you don't want to be on the side of intelligent people when they are theorizing about something they don't know anything about. That's when the whole blind spot bias most occurs. So in God vs. No God....you might want to follow...the meek....the humble. Not in my opinion, just according to studies of course.
You people are dumb, get over it.

Of course I think that I am. Question for you is how you measure intelligence though? IQ test? General education? For example does person who wins "Jeopardy" is more intelligent than doctor/professor/pHD in biochemistry who outside of his own narrow scientific field has very limited knowledge of history, literature, religion or philosophy?
For example - once at work here in Canada we had a talk about one friend who had his dog named Friday. I joking asked few of my co-workers ( all with university degree's and few of them certainly religious people ) do they have any ideas what that name might be about - to my shocking revelation none of them have ever read or heard about Daniel Defoe "Robinson Crusoe". So am I more intelligent because I have read that classic book or was I just was bigger book worm than them when I was teenager?
I thought it said they were less intelligent than athletes.

Lol pls end this thread
OK, just a second. Oops, wrong forum.
A member of management has a point. Management at any level and in any organization oft do not, which makes this is the rare exception.
There is perspective to consider here. Being marked down because one chooses to believe something that can not be proven with modern science wouldn't necessarily make them less intelligent.

Interesting and related:
A statistical analysis from England suggests that a woman’s IQ is inversely proportional to her desire to breed. This, in turn, suggests that the world will grow dumber with every new day.

So smrt aethiests don't breed, thereby demonstrating the highest level of biological ignorance.

R.Hawkins got in hot water after his tweet that all Muslim world produced less Nobel prize winners then Trinity college alone. So I doubt you want to dig deep into such data as there will be lots of whining and crying about bigotry after that.

I wonder how Dawkins will feel when he finds out that Jews win a disproportionately large # of Nobel Prizes.
