there is a large correlation between atheism and IQ
stupid people are unable to discern whether science or The Bible is correct. This applies to other religious books as well.
One the one hand, 99.9 percent of scientists say the earth is round, on the other hand this really old book says it’s flat. If you are surrounded by believers and are stupid, you may actually lack the intellectual ability to discern which information is more likely to be true.
on occasion, intelligent people may be choosing to be delusional, letting these delusions protect them from the harsh realities of nature.
Have you heard of the fireplace delusion? Burning wood is horrible for our health and the environment, but most of us have fond memories of sitting by a fire. Religion is the same. Holiday traditions with family, organized events marking important life events, it’s hard to break away.
Great perspective
