[Beast92]

This is how i believed they were, srs

just didnt imagine "pagans" would make it into the list as a group.

Anyway, im sure the worldwide average on jews is true, but in Mexico most of them are well-off, and their kids are usually on the lowest academic tiers and just spend their time drinking.

Someone should do a study on muslims vs extremist muslims.

This. And seems fishy that there would be such a huge gap. Think about it; the common muslim is not much different than the common christian.

Wonder if this is the placebo effect at work. Buddhists think they're enlightened and a large amount of atheists pretend to be intellectual geniuses in their spare time. I do this on tests all the time. Delude myself into thinking I'm a genius beforehand and come out with a better score. I suspect this would work with IQ tests too but i've never bothered to take one.

Seems like Christians should be much much lower, around the same as Muslims seeing as they're pretty much the same.

no expert but shouldn't all the averages be at or very close to 100 regardless of religion?

Dude I've noticed that quite a few intelligent, successful Jews almost completely disregard their scripture and look at it as poetry, which is admirable, but they insist that they value the literal meanings... even though it looks like they don't. It's like these religious communities have already been founded long ago and many intellectuals born inside them feel the need to appease their religious peers by pretending to hold value in the traditional literal interpretations.

btw I'm talking about the Jewish religion not the Jewish race.


Also, it makes sense to me that the Abrahamic religions have descending "intelligence" in order from oldest to newest. The pattern seems to be that the longer they exist, the less strictly they are followed...which is good.
