Atheist and IQ's

[strawdawg]

I have this chart, you can get it online it says most atheist have a IQ of around 90. That is not to say there isn't some very bright people that are atheist. I guess that's why I'm not a atheist I have a IQ of nearly 140. I might put that chart up later.

Well, if you can get it online, it must be true, eh?

My thought exactly. Gotta love them internets.

I was going to say right hand side of the bell curve.

One brain cell of Stephen Hawking alone would run the combined christian apologetic community into the ground.

A meta-analysis of more than sixty studies of intelligence and religion, which was published in the journal Personality and Social Psychology Review, found that non-religious people are on average more intelligent than religious people. As with most studies, this meta-analysis doesn't consider all angles and nuances associated with intelligence and religion, but I'll take a win where I can get one.

So, on the one hand you're claiming you're smarter than the average person by forty points, but on the other, you're apparently not smart enough to realize how completely devoid of content your OP is?

I am claiming to have a IQ near 140, yes. People on here are not the normal atheist. Most on here are well educated, therefore higher IQ's. I did not mean to imply yall was a bunch of dumb bunnies.

Which also isn't my point. My point is that "I found a chart online, it says that your side is dumb!" as a statement, is rather not in keeping with your claims regarding your intelligence.

For a smart guy, you sure are bad at supporting your claims. The issue isn't people here. The issue is whether the claim is actually true. Show us the evidence you think demonstrates that on average atheists score lower on IQ tests than theists. Please.

There could be many confounding factors. You shouldn't just accept such a thing at face value.

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.
