Religion vs I.Q.

[Edwardo Piet]

I'm confused. I swear I've seen a pretty much identical thread to this somewhere else. Same link to website too and also the thread has exactly the same name..?! Unless somehow the majority of the posts in this thread were just deleted and it IS the same thread?
I'm sure I have seen this exact thread with the exact same link and same name before...only EXCEPT the latest reply (not including this, the one before this).
I guess its possible I'm thinking of another forum...but I don't think so...and if so the similarity is UNCANNY!
Anyways, that aside:

That is the highest average IQ in any country. Duh!

There IS a pretty strong connection between religiosity and intelligence though IMO...I'd say its mostly because if you're dumb anyway you're more likely to be religious (because religion is dumb and gullible. And stupid people like it IMO) - but I can also imagine how atleast occasionally religion can lower your intelligence...just like learning things (that aren't utter bull) can raise it.
