IQ & Atheism

An evolutionary psychologist study links a higher IQ to liberalism, atheism and promiscuous men.

After I read this article, I was not struck by how the overused term "elitist" reared it’s ugly head once again. I’m not impressed with this study, it did not discover anything new under the sun.

Such as atheist men are smart sluts or wish they were. Just kidding, kinda

The funny part is the title of "Evolutionary Physiologist" that in itself is questioned, and his study is therefore automatically discounted by many of his colleagues. It seems to me, he is defensive (biased) right off the bat.

I wonder how much grant money was wasted on this study.

The word elitism was thrown about as usual and it was claimed by one person, that people with higher IQ's became atheists or unconventional just to show people how smart they are. Wow, I didn't know I was strutting around, purposely sticking my nose up in the air. It still surprises me how people who speak intelligently are considered elitist snobs. It boils down to people hate being embarrassed by having their irrational beliefs questioned and they blame the messenger.

Seeing the comments posted with this article, I was amazed to see over 3,700. This definitely hit a sore spot.

Of the two people quoted in this article, one was a conservative and the other a libertarian. Really?! how amazing is that. Where are the quotes from those stuck up atheists? This is not real science nor journalism CNN.

I have never considered myself being very smart, but I listen and learn from those who are.
