Re: Are atheists better poker players than theists?
 

i can't tell you how happy it makes me to know there are plenty of grown men who are still atheist/agnostic out there. i was under the impression that most just somehow mutated into god fearing dopes around the time of their midlife crisis.

It is a simple fact, shown in poll after poll, that the higher one's level of education, the lower a person's religious fervor is (on average).

Please provide 3 polls which directly support this claim. One would be a good too, but you are implying there are many. Thank you.

Jews are recognised as being intelligent, and hold a disproportionate number of Nobel Prizes, yet they have one of the most retarded religions on the planet in terms of specific, obviously false beliefs. Again, intelligence? Cultural factors? What gives here?

Christianity = Judaism + God-man-Jesus/resurrection. So, Christianity would have to be even more retarded than Judaism. I'd say Christianity is the middle-road between Judaism and Mormonism.
