Rev Sklansky has made light of those with sincere religious beliefs and has made assertions that such beliefs are somehow negatively correlated with one's ability to thnk critically, to perform well in math tests, and at least by implication, with one's ability to play poker.

Most religious people are intuitive feelers (rather than intuitive thinkers) either primarily or secondarily and none of them can think critically as far as intuitive thinking goes, other than when it comes to feelings where they top all intuitive thinkers. The best poker players in the world are at least as often intuitive feelers when it comes to big bet poker and all of them can additionally think well enough (sensoric thinking, including logic) as far as poker goes. There are also intuitive thinkers, including professors, who are religious in a fuller way. What comes to math and success in school, many intuitive feelers top intuitive thinkers at all subjects; also at the university level on their own areas (science mainly being their weaker point but that depends of the science).
