Does Intelligence Increase Atheism? by fallguy(m): 8:26pm On Dec 18, 2012
I'm thinking here of some renowned intellectuals and thought/idea workers. I'm thinking that the more one grows in intelligence the harder it is 4 him to see God much like the more alcohol a person takes the harder it 4 him walk straight.

Notable achiever atheists/agnostics:

bertrand Russell
Alan turing - turing completeness
Einstein - a fabricated God
bill gates
don ho - notepad++ creator
damien katz - couchdb
Linus torvalds - Linux fame
Richard stallman - emacs , free software foundation
john neuman - agnostic most of life converted in later life.
Many(if not most) Nobel laureates and fields medalists.
Most popular/notable programmers.

There are many more intelligent people who are positively Christian.

Intelligent christian is an oxymoron.

Atheism doesnt increase intelligence but intelligence has a positive correlation with atheism.


You are more likely to be educated or of higher intelligence if you are an atheist/non-religious/agnostic.

Studies have shown this

very funny, of course no. i shit literarily on all unbelievers anytime I'm privileged to write a test or be in the same class. most of the 'renowned' atheists got their success foundations from Christian values, have christian names, and were raised in 'Christian' homes.

Now this is tough. Logicboy has pointed out that there is clear statistical evidence that atheism is positively correlated with higher intelligence and higher education. But then, you've said that you're so much smarter that all atheists and you like to defecate on them. You can't possibly be lying, or a self deluded, blowhard with fantasies of having a brain. One of you must be right, but who?

I guess I believe your anecdotal claim over real evidence. After all, everybody knows that the words of random internet braggarts are the highest form of proof.

Positively christian? that's an interesting mix of words. There must be those that are negatively christian as well.

And what is a success foundation? And what are christian values? hhmm.
Let me think about this.

Ok. I get it!
I guess if one comes from a christian home, with christian names and grows up with christian values(you mean christian hypocrisies), but later in life decides to poo on, and jettison all that crap, then one can be said to have possesed christian success foundation.
Very interesting revelation.
So true success foundation comes from pooing on ones christian values.

I don't think that intelligence has anything to do with atheism. I believe its boils down to how open minded the individual is.
