You're wrong, again. Before commenting at least read back and see the context. The research (or blog about said research) that was linked showed that affluent atheists demonstrated a 3-4 point higher IQ than the average religious person. The author of the pro atheist paper (linked by atheist in this thread) stated however that the overall results were subject to debate due to social deficiencies of the affluent atheists and economic deficiencies of the religious sampling.


The Jewish sampling demonstrated that a affluent group without social deficiencies that was religious had a much higher IQ difference vs affluent atheists, than affluent atheist samplings vs the average religious person.


You are arguing with the atheist author of the research quoted in this thread by an atheist. Not me

Jews as an overall group have been known to have a higher IQ due to the banking, educational, and science related jobs they have gone into in Europe for many centuries now. So if you are going to compare atheists to jewish believers you must also compare jewish atheist to jewish believers as a control factor. What did the study show on this?
