Study finds religious people are less intelligent then atheists.

No, I don't think it said that, but maybe I missed something. And even if it said that, my main question was HOW did they measure IQ?

Iq is measured in the most ridiculous way. The IQ score is divided by the age of the person taking the test. If you took an IQ test two years in a row and answered it the same way both times your IQ would go down the second year. It was originally meant to track development in children and has very little significance for adults.

That IQ test must be really smart to know that if you answered exactly same way ( and I assume made same mistakes) it would indicate that you did not get any more intelligent in 2 years - hence you deserve lower score

The test consisted of one question:

1) Do you believe in God?

A) Yes
B) No

If answer is A IQ = 50
If answer is B IQ = 200

You deserve the same score. You haven't gotten more intelligent but you haven't gotten any less either.

The nonsensical idea that intelligent people become atheist is just that; nonsense. But access to knowledge does liberalize religious thought in almost every instance.

Agreed. But I think study of religion lends itself to intelligence but can also be dangerous if you try to explain every little thing.

Werner Von braun was still a Lutheran (religion of my parents)

The guy who invented the Radio was also a facist but was a Catholic as well.

Explaining things is dangerous? Come on now.
