High IQ implies atheism?
Professor Richard Lynn says in a forthcoming paper for the journal Intelligence, that there is a strong correlation between high IQ and lack of religious belief and that average intelligence predicts atheism rates.
Professor Lynn told Times Higher Education:
“Why should fewer academics believe in God than the general population? I believe it is simply a matter of the IQ. Academics have higher IQs than the general population. Several Gallup poll studies of the general population have shown that those with higher IQs tend not to believe in God.”
Richard Lynn has frequently courted contraversy with prior papers claiming racial & gender difference in IQ levels.
