"...that the lower the IQ score, the more likely a person is to be religious"
>>>"Leading Scientists Still Reject God"
A recent survey of members of the National Academy of Sciences showed that 72% are outright atheists, 21% are agnostic and only 7% admit to belief in a personal God.<<<
>>>"Do You Believe in God?"
In multiple studies, there is a negative correlation between theism and morality. By Franzblau's 1934 study, there's a negative correlation between religiousity and honesty. Ross 1950 shows atheists and agnostics are more likely to express their willingness to help the poor than the deeply religious. 1969 Hirschi and Stark found no correlation in lawbreaking by churchgoing children and non-churchgoing children.
This same Skeptic published the results of another study that compared professions and likelihood of believing in God. The general public was just over 90% likely to believe in God. Scientists in general were just under 40% likely. Mathematicians were just over 40% likely, biologists just under 30%, and physicists were barely over 20% likely to believe in God.<<<

It is only recently that the religious right has tried the tear down of the separation of church and state.
Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of no faith, undermine all our civil rights - Erecting the "wall of separation between church and state," therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society. -- Thomas Jefferson
I suppose you will now begin to expound that your IQ is so much higher than any of ours and so on and so forth. However, if you truly are so enlightened and intelligent why do you feel the need to come to a lowly support group and attempt to dissuade us from our simple minded beliefs?
Seems to me you are of very little intelligence and simply pride yourself on being arrogant as well as antagonistic.
I pray that you truly do become enlightened and get past your own pride so that you may come to know the truth!
So sorry for you!
While I have enjoyed our friendly little banter...I find that I have become bored. However, I would love for you to visit again. But, if possible could you try presenting your own ideas instead of "copying" and "pasting" a study written of someone who, Frankly...does not impess anyone!
Have a great Day!
