The God factor
According to this article, a Danish professor of psychology (who’s about to retire) has found out that atheists on average have an IQ that is 5.8 points higher than that of believers.
I wonder whether Harry Turtledove realised this when he wrote Between the Rivers in which believers are depicted as extremely stupid compared to the free-thinkers. 🙂
Anyway, if the article is correct, I wonder whether it’s believing that makes people less intelligent, or whether less intelligent people are more likely to believe in a god than more intelligent ones.
Nice to hear my intellect has been boosted overnight. Could you surf me an article tomorrow morning that says non-believers are on average 5kg lighter than believers, please? That’d cheer me up no end! 😉
Am gonnie tell your Mammy on you !!
