A meta-analysis of 63 studies showed a significant negative association between intelligence and religiosity. The association was stronger for college students and the general population than for participants younger than college age; it was also stronger for religious beliefs than religious behavior. For college students and the general population, means of weighted and unweighted correlations between intelligence and the strength of religious beliefs ranged from −.20 to −.25 (mean r = −.24). Three possible interpretations were discussed. First, intelligent people are less likely to conform and, thus, are more likely to resist religious dogma. Second, intelligent people tend to adopt an analytic (as opposed to intuitive) thinking style, which has been shown to undermine religious beliefs. Third, several functions of religiosity, including compensatory control, self-regulation, self-enhancement, and secure attachment, are also conferred by intelligence. Intelligent people may therefore have less need for religious beliefs and practices.

Here's a map of religiosity by country -


And that of education rates(I'll leave you to guess which colours represent the highest-lowest rates and conclude for yourself)

Simple fact


Religion is for the poor, illiterate and gullible



Not actually saying that intellectuals and the educated are not religious but the percentage and the dogma is lacking in those few.

Well.. yep studies have shown religious fundamentalist have low IQs. If only religious people would turn on their brain... THINKING is the solution
