Reddit reviews Why Atheism Will Replace Religion: The triumph of earthly pleasures over pie in the sky

They're getting their info from somewhere like here: https://scottmsullivan.com/out-of-the-top-10-most-intelligent-people-in-the-world-at-least-8-think-god-exists-and-6-are-believing-christians/

'Course, they're ignoring well-known stuff like the fact that in general religion infects more poorly educated people or people of lower IQ. Last paper I read supporting that claim was: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0963721418754491

If you don't want to, here's a synopsis of IQ and belief correlation: "Atheists are probably more intelligent than religious people because they benefit from many social conditions that happen to be correlated with loss of religious belief." - the author on Psychology Today

Those high IQ people mustn't allow their convoluted beliefs pollute their ideas about reality.

   How could I dare argue with this wealth of knowledge.

> The assertions that you make are in reference to studies which were released. I'm assuming they're where you got the idea.

You're wrong again. My assertions are based mainly in the fact that I'm old enough to have been moving around, visiting and living in for years in diverse places.

However, if what you want are scientific studies, then I can provide a bunch of those too:

• Religion and Education Around the World from PewResearchCenter
  
• Analytic Thinking Promotes Religious Disbelief by Will M. Gervais and Ara Norenzayan (ScienceMag)
  
• The Relation Between Intelligence and Religiosity, A Meta-Analysis and Some Proposed Explanations by Miron Zuckerman, Jordan Silberman, Judith A. Hall, Society for Personality and Social Psychology
  
• Why Atheism Will Replace Religion by Nigel Barber
  
• Average intelligence predicts atheism rates across 137 nations by Richard Lynna, John Harveyb and Helmuth Nyborgc at ScienceDirect (you may need credentials from your university to access this one)
  
  I can link more, so feel free to ask.
  
  > What statistics are you referring to?
  
  I'm referring to statistics, the science, not specific polls. The fact that you had to ask shows that you're not following the conversation.
  
  > Hell, after the fall of Rome, the Church practically carried knowledge and science forward single-handedly in the West.
  
  Yeah, by burning at the stake scientists proposing heliocentrism or anything that questioned the religious dogma.
  
  Don't make me laugh.
