Religious people are less intelligent than atheists

[Bow Before Zeus]

Hey, don't take it from me. This is the conclusion from a study by Professor Miron Zuckerman as reported in the Independent:

Cool, science confirms what the Bible said a long time ago:

1 Cor 1

26 For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence. 

Thanks for posting that! 

Only because the fooling make for better sheep.

Let me ask this because these kinds of threads pop-up often enough. Why is it so important for atheists to prove they are more intelligent/rational than theists?

Because atheism is based of rationalism and theism is based on faith. Mutually exclusive thought processes. One leads to intelligence the other limits intelligence.
