Religious people are less intelligent than atheists

[FatAndFaithless]

Not saying it's not true, but are there any current studies that suggest that conclusion?

I have no idea. This was a good ten years ago, but I'm sure a Google search might bring up some official information on this. The professor also said that asians have the highest IQ scores. Followed by caucasions and then blacks. For some reason, certain random bits of info stick with me.

It's crazy how men tend to be the ones with brain issues of sorts. Like, autism, general retardation, and sociopathy mostly happens to men, but so does genius. But i wonder if genius is also caused by a brain abnormality? Its almost like men's brains are more sensitive and more suceptible to abnormality. Must have something to do with the lack of an X chromosome?

From the wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_differ...telligence (that has links to the studies/analyses, I've just removed the footnotes since they screw with AF's formatting):

The current literature on sex differences produced inconsistent results depending on the type of testing used. Among the researchers who conducted studies on intelligence, many point that there are no sex differences in g (Jensen 1998, Colom, Garcia, Juan-Esponiza & Abad 2000, Colom, Garcia, Juan-Esponiza & Abad 2002, Camarata and Woodcock 2006), some found a difference favoring males (Lynn 1999, Lynn Irwing 2004, 2008) and some found a difference favoring females (Keith, Reynolds, Patel & Ridley 2006 and Reynolds, Keith, Ridley, Patel 2006).The issues remains unresolved if one uses standardized tests as Jensen (1998) and Colom, Garcia (2002) agrees that there might be a small insignificant sex difference in intelligence in general (IQ) but this may not necessarily reflect a sex difference in general intelligence (g factor). The difference between the two concepts is that IQ is a psychometric scoring system measured with standardized testing, while g factor is a latent scientific construct that correlates with all cognitive tests and achievements in life. Although most researchers distinguish between g and IQ, those that argue for greater male intelligence assert that IQ and g are synonymous (Lynn & Irwing 2004) and so the real division comes from defining IQ in relation to g factor. However, in 2008 Lynn and Irwing proposed that since working memory ability correlate highest with g factor, researchers would have no choice but to accept greater male intelligence if differences on working memory tasks are found. As a result, a neuroimaging study published by Schmidt (2009) conducted an investigation into this proposal by measuring sex differences on an  working memory task. The results found no sex difference in working memory capacity and thus contradicting the position pushed forward by Lynn and Irwing (2008) and more in line with those arguing for no sex differences in intelligence. The same results in the 2009 n-back working memory study have also been replicated in numerous other studies since.

It seems like it really depends on how you measure 'general intelligence' (g) versus just an IQ number - and it seems like men and women are better at different things.  From what it says here, it doesn't look like it points towards the conclusion that women are smarter on average while men are more at both ends of the spectrum.
