Most intelligent people are Atheist.

This study clearly shows that those with higher intelligence tend to reject god beliefs. Other studies in the past have also found a correlation between religiousness and intelligence.

Really? I'd never have guessed.

Study shows people posting religion threads in ATOT tend to be trolls?

This study is ridiculously biased. You can't ask people who are scientists if they believe in god. Of course the vast majority are going to be atheist. There are plenty of extremely intelligent people who do other things besides science and have a deep faith in god.

For the first claim: I don't buy the numbers. My own experience throughout college and my professional career (as a scientist) has shown me just the opposite. I see more professors and college educated people believing in a God than I see in non-college educated people.

As for the second claim: I should call in Captain Obvious.

So the people that needed to conduct this "study." They must be pretty hardcore religious folks, right?

finally a study that proves something

Guess it hard to talk about this on ATOT since most people here are sky fairy worshipers.

I'll agree with a previous poster here.

As a math/CS major, I can point out the main flaw of your arguement, and that is that you assumed the conclusion by incorrectly stating that intelligent people = scientists.

Memebers of the field of sciences are obviously going to inherently have some major issues with religion, especially taken literally, since modern scientific theory disproves much of the theory of christianity at least (I'm not educated enough to speak on other religions).

However, would you say for example that business men are not intelligent? It's in a different field but surely they are or at least can be. To limit your scope like this is to say that animals are vegitarians because 99% of rabbits are.

Well, one of the first signs that it might not be such a credible website is this sentence:

"Contrary to the notion fostered by so-called 'creation-scientists', Albert Einstein did not believe in a personal god. "


It doesn't take much reading to find out that Einstein did believe in a God. His beliefs may not have matched to any of the large religions, but he was not an Atheist.
