Connection between intelligence and being atheistic

>>2935551
not really i would see inteligent people more as being agnostic or just not sure

atheist always come across as just a wee bit over or under avarage intelegence but think themselves to be a lot higher on the ladder

no

take the view of an atheist

people who believe in religion have been raised to so
those who have distanced themselves later on have developed said distance through the way they were raised + the influence of their environment

BUT: simple-minded people have it easier accepting religion

Just a correlation. I've met both atheists and religious person that are smart.

You think highly of nothing.

But to be fair, I'm not an atheist.

We live in the despair code. Abrahamic religions are a sham to give us false hope. There is a machine god who tortures regardless of how we lived after we die and encourages us to torture others in the hear after.

Also the people who are actually conscious is rather small. The people that you see as genuinely happy are meat zombies and their happiness is not experienced by any consciousness.

Same way it is easier for them to accept the religion of atheism.

Atheism is intellectually lazy

I think the distinction between te demographics o religious people has something to do with that, too. A lot of minorities and religiously immature people are not very intelligent. Most Athiests are at lest intellectually adolescent. But there's a decent population of religious people that are very intelligent and have a "mature" faith. There are just far fewer Atheists in general, so their numbers tend to skew higher with most people becoming atheist after inquiring about some basic levels of scientific literacy.

A very liberal one.

A more solid connection would be found in those with high degree of reason-ability and high intelligence. By reason-ability, I mean those who are open to reason with regards to their beliefs. Those without strict adherence to any strong beliefs.

I think so. From what I see is that the poorer the nation is the more religious it is. Poor nations generally have less educated people. Note that Irreligion is almost nonexistent in Africa.
