Religious people are less intelligent than atheists

RE: Religious people are less intelligent than atheists
(December 12, 2017 at 4:15 am)Bow Before Zeus Wrote: Hey, don't take it from me. This is the conclusion from a study by Professor Miron Zuckerman as reported in the Independent:

So here's my advice to xtians who are so quick to abuse and accuse atheists of being "morons" or "stupid". It is more likely that you are so please stop the personal abuse.


Let me see.  Shall I take it from the bible, from you or from this Professor Miron Zuckerman guy?  I see Miron has "professor" right there in front of his name.  So I guess if I were in the habit of getting my conclusions from authorities, that might make a fine choice.  But I'm a big DIY guy when it comes to deciding claims which on the face of it are suspect, as is the one in this thread's title.  Not that I've done any research into this question personally.  But from my personal experience with the people I meet online and in RL I don't find intelligence dividing so neatly between believers and non-believers.  I'm not tempted to read the article itself but if you'd care to extract what you think is a persuasive quote I'd be happy to give it a look.
