"We encourage our readers to see the evidence for themselves in Dr Bergman’s alarming books: Slaughter of the Dissidents (Vol. I, 2008), Silencing the Darwin Skeptics (Vol II, 2016), and Censorship of Darwin Skeptics (Vol III)"
"The article points to a meta-analysis of 63 studies that supposedly found religious people tend to be less intelligent than nonreligious people.
According to this study, “the association was stronger among college students and the general public than for those younger than college age”.
This association likely has a lot to do with education indoctrination.
More intelligent people are more likely to go to college and, as a result, they are frequently exposed to anti-Christian, or at least anti-theism ideas as well as pro-Darwinism beliefs.
The reason has been documented by Stanford Educated Attorney Greg Lukianoff, who is President of an organization fighting censorship in colleges called FIRE.
In short, he found that campus intolerance of free speech and censorship is primarily directed at Christians."

If they were smarter they wouldn’t be non believers .
If they were smart, they wouldn’t be atheists in the first place.....................
How they could know this, since IQ tests and other means of measuring intelligence were only developed at the start of the last century
I am a firm believer in Christianity.
Psalm 14:
1 Fools say in their hearts, ‘There is no God.’They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds;there is no one who does good.
I am an award winning scientist with an IQ of 220 and likely several points higher than these morons. They will have forever in hell to contemplate their stupidity.
One thing for certain: Atheists are generally angry and bitter. Far from agnostic or live and let live.
And many have a vendetta and it is usually towards Christians and the Christian faith.
The fool has said in his heart “There is no God”. (Psalm 14:1). So, no.
IMO, intelligence is the god of atheists.
I disagree with that BROAD!!!
If one believes hell is better than heaven, then yes they are smarter.
How is it that so many really smart atheists are such useful idiots for the ideology of mass-murdering atheist thugs like Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, et al?
No, just more self-satisfied.
some atheist come at it from what they believe is a position of reason and logic but I would say if you're truly ruled by reason and logic outside of your personal “Wants” then reason and logic are your God
But I find many other atheists are not really just anti God. There anti anything even reason and logic putting any restrictions on them, on their “Wants”
I also think the very best analysis and thinking about Metaphysics has been done by Theists. Particularly because as has been shown by the great thinkers,Theism is self evident.
According to the same standards of measuring intelligence, whites are smarter than blacks. Let the Progs chew on that a bit.
Sheer intelligence is often unaccompanied by wisdom.
Consider this, to remove any ‘creator’ from our very existence including the beginning of our universe is to remove any ‘thought or intelligence’ from the equation. By definition, you are ultimately left with an existence from stupidity.
…that if we would maintain the value of our highest beliefs and emotions, we must find for them a congruous origin. Beauty must be more than accident. The source of morality must be moral. The source of knowledge must be rational.Newton, Copernicus, Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, Faraday, Pascal, Harvey, Boyle, Pasteur, Mendel, Carver, et al. maintained that nature manifests the design of a preexistent mind or intelligence. The US Constitution assumed all human rights were bestowed to us by our Creator through Natural Law .
- Sir Arthur Balfour
"We interviewed 100 atheists, and asked them if they thought that they were smarter than most people. 92% answered 'yes' and 8% didn't understand the question."
In a related study, we asked 100 FReepers if they thought that they were smarter than most people. 30% said 'yes', 40% called the question 'too invasive' and declined to answer, 17% denied that they were FReepers, and 13% said that 'they don't participate in studies', then proceeded to comment at length on the thread about studies, the people who do them, their parental lineage, and about anything else that came to mind.
Choosing hell over heaven is like the dumbest decision EVAH and forever.
