How is "intelligence" defined? According to whose criteria?

Man of Faith

Peace,

This study seems to be fairly biased. However, there might be a connection between adopting tradtional senseless religions and intelligence. Intelligent people are certainly driven more by logic and rationality and may thus be turned away by the portrayal of these traditional religions and also from God altogether. It can be a matter of how you define intelligence on the other hand. Being intelligent does not necessarily mean you understood things right, but you certainly have the prerequisite to discover the Truth.

We must remember that the majority of people in the world are not fit for God's kingdom and so there is only a minority that go to Heaven.

In my opinion, true Faith relies heavily on intelligence and about logic and reason. The traditionalists distort and mislead even the more intelligent beings. It is a big victory and achievment to be a Believer and shows that you have a strong intellect.

For example, many of the people on this forum who follow God alone are actually very intelligent people or they would not be around here and reason like this.

On the other hand, sectarians with sealed minds who parrot polytheistic nonsense day after day in their so-called house of worships could be regarded as the target of this article you submitted. Those who accept things no matter how how senseless and illogical they seem. God even explain about these people in Quran.

God bless you

Blind faith harbours stupidity.

Exactly! Very good and very important point!
God has no Religion!

God is running everything.

It comes from the word inter-leggere = to read between the lines, or, understand a meta meaning.

It's a widely known phenomenon...

Religiosity and intelligence

But remember the #1 principle in statistic:
Correlation doesn't show cause and effect..

It also shows that none of the respondents were '100%' atheist :p
