Source: Intelligent people 'less likely to believe in God'
| Quote: |
People with higher IQs are less likely to believe in God, according to a new study.
Professor Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University, said many more members of the "intellectual elite" considered themselves atheists than the national average.
A decline in religious observance over the last century was directly linked to a rise in average intelligence, he claimed. |
That's not really rocket science now is it? As if the belief in imaginary friends and fairy tales by adults who disregard all rational thought to do so could ever be considered intelligent.

Police officers acquitted for beating a 64 yr old man recently in New Orleans. In the words of their defense attorney "all he had to do was comply"....and they wouldn't have fractured his face. |
