Firstly, how are you measuring intelligence? Are we talking iq ? Knowledge? Education? How are we measuring?

Secondly, I know some staggeringly intelligent theists... And some staggeringly intelligent atheists. Same goes for atheists. So what are we talking about, averages? End ranges?

Where abouts are we talking? Society's vary, as do the predictors of religion.

Far to complex and multifaceted a hypothesis to test. That said I do seem to recall a study which tried. I'll dig it out because you know. Data and that.

Shut up, outlier. Tongue


There is a sense where the proposition is correct in that "goddidit" represents an end to the quest for knowledge. Angel
