so, you are not agnostic and yet may not be an atheist as you said. so what is your stand?

Fastest fingers first bro grin grin

Only 3.6 percent of Mensa members are atheists . Atheists are not smart enough for Mensa

Lmaooooooooooooooooooo grin grin grin

This statement is misleading. I was looking this up and mensa doesn't publish demographics on race or religion.

The source I found that echoes that you've said here was this page http://mwm.us.mensa.org/faq/people.html. The survey here was done in America only and also in 1996 or earlier, over 20 years ago.

The brief part about religion says "49% Christian, 3% Unitarian, 9% Jewish, 7% agnostic, 3.6% atheist, 9% no religion". So at least 19.6% are non religious. However by your logic I could also say "Unitarians aren't smart enough from mensa!" Which would be inaccurate for many reasons...don't you have a portal to heaven to find?

Dude that was from the official mensa site . The atheists on reddit also brought up that date nonsense in order to feel good about themselves . The survey involved over 100,000 Mensa members from all countries . And how many people do you think qualify for Mensa in a year? There is only a little change to that stats from Mensa's website if viewed currently . The point still remains the research by the OP was poorly done .

I will never become an atheist even if scientists get all the proof in the world that there is no God. I just see this kinda things as temptations.

Lol.

You just helped to confirm the study again. grin

In case you missed the point of the study, let me help you.

The point of the study is that people like you cannot make a decision to become an atheist.
People who become atheists have , perhaps a little something extra. The study calls it IQ.

The research was poor and plain stupid . It correlated intelligence with religiousity forgetting that there are "atheist religions" and believers who are non religious

KingEbukaNaija:



The emboldened texts show that those ignorant researchers don't know that there are religious atheists with religious beliefs in Buddhism , Jainism , Confucianism , Unitarian Universalism and so many others , And that the deists , panentheists who acknowledge the existence of God are non religious .

So they are simply saying if you are religious you likely have a low IQ because of your religious beliefs . Right ? That means those religious atheists in the aforementioned religions have low IQs because of their religious beliefs . Right ?

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot - this is a perfect example.

Hilarious!

The research was done in ignorance of the diversity in religion which can involve both believers and atheists . This of course proves the research was poorly done and should tossed into a trash can .

Lol it literally says "American Mensa Ltd. Demographics" and the date is hardly nonsense, why are you using an article published 20 years ago? Post the current stats of you wish?

I don't believe in generalisations butI'm just saying that you should at least be honest with your argument.

And one of the research articles the article in op was based on https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23921675.
