The comments to that atheism/IQ article are largely moronic. 'Who cares? What is on average in this matter does not interest me. This has become a confession of faith to atheist liberals. I hope it makes them less perceptive of their decline, more overconfident, more blunt, more arrogant and more clinging to their false beliefs. Average is to them a way of avoiding the details. Averages often seem to "support" hegemonic ideology. By the way, have you noticed that probability of God arises from atheist physics?' Yes, that's certainly a convincing argument. And I'm not even an atheist.
