i really don't think we even need a test here. the fact that trump actually suggested this instead of letting the whole issue go speaks for itself - especially after insisting tillerson's non-denial in the hostage video somehow meant this never happened in the first place...

I really want this to happen though. Just hope Mensa are capable of ensuring Trump doesn't spoof the results. Would be difficult.

this is not happening, 100%. trump is just a triggered precious little snowflake, but not even he is stupid enough to expose himself like that. it's hard to imagine that tillerson would ever agree, he's clearly above this level of pettiness, but even if he did, trump would make some lame excuse.
not that he even needs one: his cultists don't hold him accountable anyway (tax releases / wall financing / healthcare...) and everyone else can clearly see what a moron he is...

Christians, as a general rule, are dumber than atheists. Obviously there are smart Christians and dumb atheists but averages etc.

I mean... just to be a Christian you have to have some flaw in your ability to think critically or at least to apply critical thought to your Christian beliefs.

Yeah, no. Your second sentence is not objective but based on your prejudice against Christianity. So many scientific breakthroughs came at the hands of Christians that your statement is utter nonsense. It's the Judeo-Christian environment that spawned the first world into dominance.

Yeah, yea. Numerous studies have shown a negative correlation between religiosity and intelligence.
Obviously my second sentence is my opinion on why that is. I could be wrong about the cause but the effect is observable, testable, repeatable and thus empirically true.
Christians are, on average, less intelligent than atheists.

They're also less knowledgeable about the bible in general, ironically.

Case study:

Compare Judeo Christian US and Western Europe since 1900 that had very high rates of professing Christians compared to atheist Soviet Bloc, China, & other countries that essentially made atheism law of the land.

100 Years later it's pretty clear and cut which was a failed ideology. Did your studies consider this or just narrowed the scope to fit their narrative?

Atheists are also autistic.

Not talking about societies. Talking about individuals.

Though China is doing amazingly well economically and Russia is run by the Orthodox church, admittedly hand in hand with the Oligarchs.



Gonna take a wild punt and say that that probably is not a real study. Though I wouldn't be surprised if autistic people are more likely to be atheists. One of the problems many people with autism face is an inability to grasp abstract concepts. That would make being religious difficult.
