"I'm a little confused in regards to your first refutation, but my assertion is not in regards to intelligence and irreligiosity, but only intelligence and religiosity. I apologize if I had mistakenly asserted the same, though. It was not my attention. Also, I don't mean to claim all or nothing on the resolution on this correlation but I do assert the importance of not over extending the correlation. Meaning, not making 30-40% correlation look like 60-80% correlation. "
Sorry, trying to read and post while running a scanning microscope. I get rushed.
I'm somewhat uninterested in the numbers associated with this. The fact that there is a correlation and it is a strong one is an interesting fact but beyond that I put little interest in it. If that correlation is 30% or 70% makes no difference to me one way or another. I tend not to judge the intelligence of a person based on their position as theist, deist, or atheist. My parents are brilliant and both are theists. My ex is an atheist and one of the densest people I have ever met. I do make some intelligence judgements based on dogmatic following, but I think that's different.
