Default Re: Atheism Intelligence Correlations - The Strongest Argument for Ath

snowman -

ZJ's argument depends on belief trends, not on specific believers. So when you say...

The bottom line is there are very intellignet atheists, and very intelligent theists.

...you're completely missing the point. The bottom line is that, among very intelligent people, atheists are wildly over-represented.

If you don't believe God's existence is a subject amenable to rational inquiry, obviously you don't believe this trend means anything...except maybe that God hates smart people.

But if you believe there is a rationally "best" response to the proposition "God exists", then this trend constitutes a strong argument that belief in God is irrational.
