Why are very intelligent people usually atheists? It's not as obvious as it seems...

[QUOTE="juvenissun, post: 65575920, member: 184066"] It is a misleading. It skipped an important word in the question: Why are "famous" intelligent people ..." This corrects the misconception that "famous intelligence" is equivalent to "very intelligent". For example, I believe I am as intelligent as Einstein, only much less famous. I can not compete on physics with him. But I am certainly a much better geologist than him. There are a lot of intelligent people, but there is no "very" intelligent people. If we call one to be very intelligent, than that makes every intelligent ones very intelligent too. With this correction in the original question, then I would question the validity of the statement. I am not sure the statistics is true. It is easy to know who is famous. But it is not easy to know if one is an atheist or not. I can easily argue that those people might not be Christians, but they could certainly be religious. As long as they are religious, it defeats the argument. [/QUOTE]
