Hedybee:
Please l have a question.
Are there Muslims who turned atheists? Because I always get to hear of Christians.

ye..
www.Exmuslim.com
www.faithfreedom.org and many more...
They can guide you..if you're a muslim

JuicyLucy:


Of course religion is political after all. And the Christmas tree is also a pagan tradition which was added to make the new followers more at home Wow. And then these people on this thread have the nerve to question our intellect

Its called transmutation. Religions do it alot. The romans did it to the Greeks, the Jews did it to the sumerians, christians did it to the Jews, Muslims did it do christians, Mormons did it to Jews and christians.

Wilgrea7:
Some atheists maintain their non-belief comes through superior intelligence. In particular, many online atheists like to quote, “A fool says in his heart there is a God.” He reads only those sources which confirm and conform to his view and eschews those which do not. And he isn’t shy about telling you how dumb it is not to believe as he does.
But consider: nearly all the greatest, best, highest, most beautiful minds that ever existed were theists. Aristotle? Augustine? Confucius? Aquinas? Bonaventure? Copernicus? Bruno? Kepler? Galileo? Pascal? Descartes? Newton? Bach? Mendel? The list is endless.

confucius was no a theist...neither was bruno...your site is lying to you..

Most people were and still are
theists of one sort or another. It is only in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries where atheism picked up steam.
If one is to study the association between intelligence and religious belief it is clear that one must account for history

It's even observable today akintom.
You will hardly find an illiterate atheist.
And the higher the illiteracy/poor social conditions the higher the prevalence of religion

Uh huh

[b] Lmao People bcom atheist because they don't see anything that proves or a presence like in other myth that a God should prove his existence... Even if I am God I will do the same "Sit down and watch"
Was watching this new series WESTWORLD and tot this must be how everything we see came to be. Nothing cannot jus come to be randomly, if it was so randomly as d Dumbass scientist claim then Dogs would be giving birth to cats and Weasels which should be "Random". Even Einstein himself believed in a higher power a he liked and bought the idea of God even if he wasn't religious. Man has messed up this world even the Bible was totally altered, books removed and teach their own belief as a religion. And what makes people with no religion believe they have no religion? when even their atheism is a religion (they worship free will)... Nothing is the way it seems we all have to worship something.
Intelligence ends here on earth, we're all in this little terrestrial ball made by someone (like in WESTWORLD), We ever wonder why we so vulnerable, if we came to be randomly, we should be immortal, able to command our own fate and design our own ability yet these people say being religious is dumb, Smh [/b]

sorry to say..this is a dumb comment

If you had a jot of IQ in you, you would have first realized that your thread has no business being opened in a religion section as Atheism holds no belief and isnt a religion. You should have opened it in either science, family or Diary section if such exists.

Your first IQ test was below average with this thread being here.

pls enlightenment Mi biko

Of course, Lennycool,

Religion thrives on irrational fears and ignorance.

Those literate theists would rather choose, to become primitive and disgusting cavemen, when religion is the subject matter.

So pathetic.

Higher IQs ?

So people like lennycool , jonbellion , the OP , Seun and the rest are smarter than I am simply because they claim there is no God Hokay

This is what atheists have : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illusory_superiority

I've never said anything like that

And for the last time I'm an agnostic
I do know however that umbelibers are usually widely read and no doubt intelligent but I don't know about higher IQs than religious people

You are agnostic ? Really ?

https://www.nairaland.com/3479364/atheism-agnosticism-which-better#51271942



Atheism is very illogical . Their arguments are very weak . So I don't get the gist

after he'd claim atheists are the proponents of logical fallicies..
See his hasty generalization..
To them/their logic all pro-gay activists are gay and all unbelievers are atheists.

strawman

akintom:


Now you're confirming the study.

With all your IQ and science you can't travel to the SUN, because you know that your IQ and science will melt in the SUN by the power of Most High God. I was an Atheist and I can tell you that. There's God in Heaven.

Abeg stop this high IQ thing
There are also intellegent religous people
This is just a weird superiority complex

MrMontella:

See his hasty generalization..

The title of this thread says "Atheists have IQs" that means all atheists have higher IQ than I do simply because they claim there is no God?

What you atheists have is illusory superiority

@bolded..another hasty generalization
if the op meant all..then its outrightly wrong...unless he meant usually or something

wow damn!
So hot water is also proof of yahweh?

Atheists 'have higher IQs': Their intelligence 'makes them more likely to dismiss religion as irrational and unscientific'

*Research found those with higher IQs more likely to dismiss religion

*Another drawback to being religious, or at least Christian is losing out on top jobs

By Daniel Bates

Atheists tend to be more intelligent than religious people, according to a US study.

New evidence: A study has concluded that religious people are less intelligent than non-believers

In 53 of these there was a ‘reliable negative relation between intelligence and religiosity’. In just 10 was that relationship positive.

@ MrMontella , jonbellion , lennycool

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 .
