The unspoken premise when people claim this always seems to be that dumber people tend to choose religion, and that this is a sign that religion is the inferior viewpoint. But I think that even if the data showed a significant correlation, that that's not necessarily how it works.


Quote:In a 2013 meta-analysis, led by Professor Miron Zuckerman, of 63 scientific studies about IQ and religiosity, a negative relation between intelligence and religiosity was found in 53, and a positive relation in the remaining ten.
 Found this on Wikipedia, the most reliable source on the interwebs!

I agree with you. That is not how it works. I believe that the smarter you are, the more skeptically geared you are towards religion.

I have a 164, which is on the border between genius and high genius.
