Finally, peer reviewed proof that god doesn't real. Re[lie]gion is false.
 
Would be interesting to see how they quantified "intelligence", and to see how things break down by different religions (say, Christianity vs. Islam vs. Buddhism, etc.).

A member of management has a point. Management at any level and in any organization oft do not, which makes this is the rare exception.

There is perspective to consider here. Being marked down because one chooses to believe something that can not be proven with modern science wouldn't necessarily make them less intelligent.

R.Hawkins got in hot water after his tweet that all Muslim world produced less Nobel prize winners then Trinity college alone. So I doubt you want to dig deep into such data as there will be lots of whining and crying about bigotry after that.

I wonder how Dawkins will feel when he finds out that Jews win a disproportionately large # of Nobel Prizes.

I wonder if some Jewish people think about themselves as ethnic rather then religious group though? I personally know few Jewish people who do not follow any Judaism rituals (do not eat kosher food, no brit for boys, never go to synagogue, etc.).
Is it possible to be Jewish atheist?

Nobel prizes are controversial in the first place. And how about the contributions of muslim world to the science and art/literature in the earlier eras? Were they atheist then? Todays muslim world is an entirely different subject to argue though, and yes they practically hold themselves back. But I just don't respect Dawkins because he is obsessed with muslim world and he never ever sees the goods/bads together, to him muslims are pure evil, he is narrow-minded.

I am genuinely interested. Found this which just confirms my personal experience.

"They go because they want some kind of ethnic identity," Magid said. "They don't care about the prayers. It allows them to feel a sense of Jewishness, but has little to do with religion."

That's what prompted Jennifer Cohen Oko, a Washington, D.C.-based writer, to join a Reform synagogue, her first. Neither Cohen nor her husband believe in God, but, like many Jews, they joined for their two children.

"I want my kids to understand they are Jewish, to be proud of being Jewish and to understand their heritage," Cohen said. "And then they'll have a choice. If they want to go that way (towards belief in God), great. If they don't, they'll have a sense of where they came from."
