I have this chart, you can get it online, that says the average IQ for atheists is 103.09 and the average IQ for theists is 97.14.
It's rather a slight difference and no one should get worked up about it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

And I have one- that I just made in paint- that says atheists have IQs of eighty billion, and theists have IQs of four. But since it exists, I guess it's true, right?

Atheist and IQ's

All the Atheists that I know are clearly more intelligent than the religious crowd I know. I have been tested and have an IQ of 135.

I find the notion ridiculous that there should be a sensible measure of the performance of something as complex and varied in its skills as the human mind, which can still be projected onto one measly number. I don't understand why people think this is at all meaningful.

I am claiming to have a IQ near 140, yes.
You'll forgive me if I call bullshit. 140 is nearly three standard deviations above the mean. The character of your posts here suggests otherwise.

Hold on a sec.
You sign onto an atheist forum and start a thread telling everyone most atheists are dumb in a post riddled with grammatical errors and lacking any kind of citation?
Quick; tell me why I shouldn't report you for trolling.
Let's not conflate intelligence and education, though

You must have an IQ of 140, that's why you believe in a skydaddy watching all your moves.. . Makes perfect sense

Wait. With a claimed IQ of 140, you ought to be able to do it yourself. :p
