So, what I'm getting from the results is..."maybe, but sure as hell not as much as they profess to be"?
Absolutely nothing.Quote:

This. I noticed that more atheists are open minded as compared to non-atheists. Not to offend Christians and other religions based off of Christianity, but I tend to either see them being the extremely religious people that says "...because God made it so." to most questions, or some gangster wannabe, for some reason.

i forgot where i saw the research, but there was a study on the rate of atheism and the corresponding education level.
It was like, 10% for high school grads, 13% for bachelors, 17% for masters, then at like the phd level it jumped up to around 40%.
It makes sense though- the more you study, the more you realize how absolutely irrational religion is.
So it's not really, are atheists smarter. It's the smarter people become atheists.
Well put.Quote:

Then I started asking kids around me "wait, is this supposed to be something that really happened?" and everyone was just like "uh i dont knoww". After that day I was done with religion, lulz. No brainwashing for me.
Then as I became older and could actually research the bible and all this nonsense it became even more apparent how stupid the whole thing is.

Your argument is invalid.
As a whole, maybe, but theres always going to be someone to bring the average down.
What I find most revealing in the op is that none of the groups even makes it to a grade nine level.>_>
1) You sound like you're in grade school throwing around that word.Quote:

i dont understand how being a certain religion can measure ur intelligence
im catholic. when a test asks me how the universe got created, what will you think i answer? the answer that will get me a ****ing A+. which means choosing god at church class, and big bang in a physics class.
to choose an answer on a test of which you KNOW will count as wrong just so you can support your beliefs is pretty ****ing ******ed.
i can understand if that graph was based on science test scores, but its completely idiotic to believe that religion has anything to do with how well you can write...
Just because I have Faith in something sought out to be fake doesn't make me any less intelligent, just more gullible than others. (In the eyes of someone who is smart)
w/e same difference.Quote:
