Why Are We The Lucky Ones?

[Aoi Magi]

My last thread talked about the link between IQ and religiosity. Many atheists disagreed with me when I said that the higher your IQ is, the more skeptically minded you tend to be, therefore increasing your chances of being an atheist. If IQ is not a factor, then what do you think is? Why were we so lucky to be broken out of religious bonds, and other theists weren't? What are the causal factors?

Thanks!

• Easy access to more information and knowledge. Most atheists are not home-schooled.
  
• Parents not too eager on the brainwashing bit (or too busy to do so with the modern busybee lifestyle).
  
• Increase in communication to more people who are NOT like-minded.
  
• Development of critical thinking ability.
  
• The Devil.
