Atheists= intelligent?
#22
RE: Atheists= intelligent?
OK, here we are Kyu: In chapter three of the paperback edition of 'The God Delusion': 'Arguments for God's existence', within the sub chapter of it, 'The argument from admired religious scientists', page 129, it says on that page: 'On the subject of religion and IQ, the only meta-analysis known to me was published by Paul Bell in Mensa Magazine in 2002 (Mensa is the society of individuals with a high IQ, and their journal not surprisingly includes articles on the one thing that draws them together).' It continues: 'Bell concluded: 'Of 43 studies carried out since 1927 on the relationship between religious belief and one's intelligence and/or educational level, all but four found an inverse connection. That is, the higher one's intelligence or educational level, the less one is likely to be religious or hold "beliefs" of any kind.'
And under the 'notes' section near the back of the book, it says under the same chapter and sub chapter (within the 'notes' section) what the source is (I think its a source, note 57 in the notes section anyways, and it is very probably about it)...: 'P.Bell, 'Would you believe it?', Mensa Magazine, Feb. 2002, 12-13.'
There you go, hope thats ok, and that this is ok.
