Atheists tend to be nasty, lonely, confrontational people. Incapable of long term relationships.Hmmm how many atheists do you know? You do know that atheists are in fact much less prone to all the social ills you mentioned as well as all the typical social ills: Atheist from Zachary Kroger on Vimeo. As well, well over 90% of eminent scientists (with IQ's >140 or well higher) are atheists. I ask you to go to Rego Park/Forest Hills/Kew Gardens Hills to test the IQ's of the religious Jewish people. They have a prayer bar on their front door, maintain a kosher diet, and during sabbath, they don't do any household chores or even take the apartment building elevator. No driving. No working. They are very religious, but not fanatically so, and I don't get the feeling they have low IQ's. In fact, I think they are better people because of their lifestyle. Many if not most ethnic Jews are in fact atheists. I wouldn't be surprised if the more religious ones are mostly the ones on the lower half of the Jewish IQ curve, and with its incredibly high mean of ~113, these Jews would still be much smarter than the bulk of the population. Even if one is an atheist or agnostic, one should go to church or synagogue each weekend. Why if you don't believe? But many atheists in fact do that. Some of them are on the pulpit. The fact that atheists are, as a group, more adjusted to societal life would be consistent with them having higher IQ's. I would not be surprised if that fact alone explained the better outcomes of atheists. |
