correlation between intelligence and atheism
#14
RE: correlation between intelligence and atheism
A weak correlation, at best.

There is a correlation, however, between educational level and atheism. The higher ones education level, the more likely they are to be an atheist.

But that says nothing about innate intelligence.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
