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.

Do they measure IQs differently outside of Europe, because every other person on the internet claims to have 160, but according to the scales I know that is so exceedingly rare that one shouldn't encounter such people regularly. Who is administering all these tests anyhow?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
