If you don't believe me you can just do a quick google search of the subject well roughly twice as many men identify as atheist, so what exactly are you saying, TC? And let's be honest, the difference is really greater than that, because a lot of dudes act like christians to appease their gfs and wives. <cite>phat32 posted [p:961672102] in Do you per...

phat32 01/11/22 8:25:24 PM #10:	Njolk posted... Correlation between education and religion a d correlation between men and religion does not create correlation between men and education... education=/=intelligence also, you're wrong. If atheists have higher intelligence, and way more atheists are men, that means men have a higher intelligence. Disclaimer: I'm not claiming this, it's tc. I suppose you could argue that the intelligence of a religious man is so ultra low that it drives down the average intelligence of men, but the median intelligence of men would still be higher. <cite>phat32 posted [p:961672243] in Do you per...

VideoboysaysCube 01/11/22 8:47:10 PM #14:	Academic proficiency is not an indication of intelligence. You can memorize an encyclopedia and still be a complete idiot. True intelligence requires a sense of humility and the ability to accept that we will never have all the answers. Any claims about dismissing the possibility of a higher plane of existence is a demonstration of ignorance. We have five senses that allow us to study our world. It's sheer arrogance to assume these are the only tools needed to make definite declarations regarding the mysteries of space and time. --- This sentence has five words.

But I know plenty of normally smart people, including plenty of normally religious people. This. The difference between the religious and non religious people I know is not noticable until you get into that specific topic.

They'll just find whatever content helps them go "Yup, knew it. I'm smarter than all them".
