Of course, averages are misleading, because ...</p>\n<p>- There are more high-IQ theists than high-IQ atheists.</p>\n<p>- The majority of atheists have sub-100 IQs.</p>\n<p>- \"The two most common types of atheists are the High Church atheists with 128+ IQs and Low Church atheists with 65-72 IQs. The Low Church atheists actually outnumber the High Church atheists, 22.9 to 17.2 percent.\"</p>\n<p>- \"There are 11.4x more 128+ IQ theists who either 'know God exists' or 'believe God exists despite having the occasional doubt' than there are 128+ IQ atheists who 'don't believe God exists.'\"</p>\n<p>See the article for an interesting set of graphs.</p>\n<p>Part of me wonders if this accounts for the \"I Love Science!\" crowd, despite not actually know what science *is*, as well.</p>\n<p>FWIW, I was raised a Methodist Christian, so I have a warm place in my heart for religion. In adulthood I became an agnostic, not an atheist, so I have no particular dog in that fight. I have not taken a formal IQ test so I do not know where I fall on that scale. I like science as a methodology, which is why I am perturbed by messages purporting to be \"scientific\" when they are not.</p>\n"
