Do you believe in God, Jesus, Christianity? What's your IQ?

I'm bored. I'm curious. Indulge me, please.

Edit: I realize this poll may be skewed by those who wish the other side to be viewed as unintelligent. They may be freaked out as being viewed as less intelligent or shall we say a bunch of morans (w/ an 'a').

Any guesses for who voted Yes, <100? Classic.

I like how you assume they were joking.

This poll doesn't leave an option for me. I want to vote, but I have an IQ of 73 and there's no option for 73!

This may be the dumbest internet poll I've ever seen.

I think the only thing this poll tells us is that Christians are marginally more honest than atheists.

I doubt if anyone in SMP has a 145+ IQ. (Hint: Internet tests are not an accurate measure of IQ)

Interesting fact - many scientific studies done on the relationship of intelligence vs. belief in God have shown that as the IQ level increases the percentage who believe in God decreases. This doesn't mean that some smart people don't believe in God or that some less intelligent ones can't be atheists. Below is an excerpt from one study.

Polling Scientists on Beliefs

According to a much-discussed survey reported in the journal Nature in 1997, 40 percent of biologists, physicists and mathematicians said they believed in God - and not just a nonspecific transcendental presence but, as the survey put it, a God to whom one may pray "in expectation of receiving an answer."

The survey, by Edward J. Larson of the University of Georgia, was intended to replicate one conducted in 1914, and the results were virtually unchanged. In both cases, participants were drawn from a directory of American scientists.

Others play down those results. They note that when Dr. Larson put part of the same survey to "leading scientists" - in this case, members of the National Academy of Sciences, perhaps the nation's most eminent scientific organization - fewer than 10 percent professed belief in a personal God or human immortality.

Yeah the title cracked me up but how accurate could it possibly be? Most people don't know their own IQ.
