Ouch, that's got to hurt ...
Cue the outrage? Or makes sense to me?
An analysis of 63 scientific studies by the University of Rochester has concluded that atheists are more intelligent than cultist types. Of the studies analyzed, 53 reflected "a reliable negative relation between intelligence and religiosity."
The team of psychologists hastened to point out, however, that it didn't mean people were dumb if they
believed in god — rather, that the more intelligent a person was, the more inclined they were to form
their own world view. For the purposes of the study, intelligence was defined as "ability to reason, plan,
solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience."
That all sounds pretty neat – but not much good when you're burning in hell with a pitchfork in your butt.
