So according to your reference, only scientists are smart people?

Also, that data is 20 years old and used SKEPTIC magazine as one of its sources.

Isn't that like me using 'Answers in Genesis' to say religious people are more moral?


SKEPTIC is a fine magazine. It certainly does contain articles good for nothing but entertainment, but its scholarly side is robust and well-received. SKEPTIC would never ask you to believe it's academic articles on faith; they are well-footnoted. Go check them out yourself, and people certainly do. Their Forum section, where knowledgeable people thrash the academics presented in that mag is, to say the least, lively.

The phenomenon of intelligence/religiosity is much, much older than 20 years.

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful." ~Seneca the Younger
