''The uneducated people listen to Bible readings, or read the bible if they have a little education'' and believe it without any proof because they are not smart enough. That's why people with higher IQ tend to believe less in gods. It's what it is badecker, the more stupid you are the more likely you are to believe in god. Don't be mad.

Actually that is not entirely accurate.

I can agree that it isn't 100% accurate to say "the more stupid you are the more likely you are to believe in god." but I would argue that your chart supports the statement "That's why people with higher IQ tend to believe less in gods.". The hockey stick red line past 100 IQ (the avg IQ) is not easy to miss.

I have a problem with the chart though. Sub 70 IQ is considered dull. Statistically, above 130 and below 70 have the same % of people (and are a statistically insignificant number of people, less than 5% total). Why did they leave out the above 130 IQ but leave in sub 70 group, why did they only include part of the "bell"? I surmise that they needed a big dropping red line somewhere to combat the lower intelligence = more theistic argument and found one the only place they could, in dullards...

To be fair present the proper distribution and remove the sub 72 on that chart and see what it looks like again. This is so typical of an agenda driven presentation. lol at using less than 2.5% population to argue anything about what is typical (read average).

It is crystal clear and supported by even your supplied skewed agenda driven chart that "people with higher IQ tend to believe less in gods."

Edit: I read the chart like this. As you go from dull to average (70-100) or in other words everyone below average intelligence you are more likely to be theistic. As you go from average to genius (100-130) or in other words above average intelligence tend to be less theistic.

The only reason people with higher IQ trust less in God, is because they trust their IQ more. Then they die, and prove their IQ couldn't save them. But the resurrection will prove that God could have, if they had only believed.

Cool

Or because they are smarter and it's harder to convince a smart guy with nonsense. As I said though, it's hard to snap out of it when everyone is telling you that the christian god is real just like it's hard for a muslim to ever convert into Christianity.

If you want to place a bunch of jokers who say god doesn't exist, as god above nature and your soul telling you that the God of the universe exists, that is partially your choice... and your acceptance of a lie that you know is a lie.

Cool

I'm just saying that statistics show that the smarter and more knowledgeable you are the less likely you are to believe in a god or any religion. Statistics don't lie.
