It's positively correlated with IQ, but it's also positively correlated with being cringe. That is why we're atheists but pretend to be theists, isn't it?
>>18508762It's "positively" correlated with IQ because there are far more 110 IQ midwit atheists than there are 130 IQ theists (or agnostics, which aren't atheists), simply because there are far less people with an IQ of 130+ in general. Also, "religiosity" is a subjective score that doesn't measure belief. Many tests measure "religiosity". In which, obviously, higher IQ theists who aren't catholic and dont kiss inanimate objects are clocked as somehow less "religious."
>>18508770As IQ increases, the rate of atheism increases with no point where this trend reverse. The greater IQ a person has the more likely they are to be atheists. Atheists are not "midwits", among the 130+ IQ demographic atheists dominate across all races.In reality, those with 85-115IQs are the most likely to be religious. Those with 130+ IQs are almost all atheists.
>>18508781I've never found this to be correct and I've never met these people. I guess it's possible it's like what OP is saying and the doctors, computer engineers, biologists I've met in my life were just lying to fit in to societal decorum. Not even being ironic. But myself and my close friends are, to the best of my knowledge, 130+ IQ theists. It's my friends who smoke a lot of weed and have no job/skills who are atheist. Verbatim one has said to me, after taking a hit from his bong, "I just get why someone as smart as you would be [theist]"
>>18508793"i just DONT get..." ratherFeel free to dock ten points from my IQ.
>>18508793Let me be clear, in no uncertain terms, if you believe a single story from• the Bible• the Quran• Bhagavad GitaYou are an idiot. That's where the line has to be drawn. Nobody cares if you're a "philosophical deist" or whatever the fuck. There's no such thing as magic flying jews. Jews don't come back from the dead. They don't heal the blind. Nobody can part the Red Sea except Harry Potter.Do you get it? There is an insurmountable wall between those who believe in Santa Claus and those who don't. Christians, Muslims, Jews, and Hindus are all unintelligent by any sensible definition of intelligence because they cannot think critically and accept absurd stories without a second thought.
>>18508793>my friends and I are really smart>I think maybe even 130+ IQ! >therefore those studies are mootJesus is not sending his strongest soldiers.
>>18508762Atheists are midwits, hence why the average Joe aka the average /his/ user seethes whenever they think of Christianity.
>>18508826As IQ increases, the rate of atheism increases with no point where this trend reverses (the correlation is strictly increasing). There are almost no religious people above 130 IQ. In reality, the majority of religious people are in the 85-115 IQ range.
>>18508826Your picture is wrong. Top scientists are less religious than the general populace. It's a fact. You can stop coping.
>>18508838you keep saying "religious" now instead of atheist/theist. can you define this term? how is one more or less religious?
The biggest reason why I'm not an atheist is because I don't want to embarrass myself
>>18508866Yeah that's what the op says.
>>18508781>citation needed
>>18508836>If I repeat this bullshit enough, it will become trueNope.
Religion is a post-colonial European concept modelled after christkekery blown up and projected backwards into human history
This is evidence that the IQ metric is dubious because atheists are the dumbest sacks of bricks I have ever spoken to.
>>18508957>>18508958All actual data on the subject confirms this. Your low IQ christcuck cope memes are not evidence.
>>18509154Just like all actual data confirms you’re a real woman?
