Those with higher intelligence are less likely to believe in God claims new review of 63 scientific studies stretching back decades

A new study claims to have conclusively proved that the more intelligent a person is the less likely they are to believe in God.

Psychologists Miron Zuckerman and Jordan Silberman of the University of Rochester and Judith Hall of Northeastern University have published their review of 63 studies conducted between 1928 and 2012 in this months Personality and Social Psychology Review.

While they admit their findings are 'not new', the psychologists embarked on a systematic analysis of almost one hundred years of studies into the correlation between intelligence and religiosity and found that atheism is rife among clever people.

Defining intelligence as the 'ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience,' the three psychologists defined these skills as analytical, reasoned forms of intelligence.

On the other hand, religiosity was defined as a belief in the supernatural, offering gifts to this supernatural and performing rituals affirming their beliefs according to an article in Arstechnica.com.

Backing up their findings, Zuckerman, Silberman and Hall, examined the 1921 study by Lewis Terman, a psychologist at Stanford Univeristy who named his review, the Terman cohort of the gifted.

In the study, Terman recruited 1,500 children whose IQ exceeded 135 at at the age of 10.

This data was re-examined by Robin Sears at Columbia University in 1995 and by Michael McCullough at the University of Miami in 2005.

The overall conclusion of both these reviewers was that the children were less religious when compared to the general public.


Direct Correlation: The relationship between countries' belief in a god and national average IQ by Richard Lynn of the University of Ulster

However, what was remarkable about the data collected by Terman was that in spite of their atheism, 60 percent of the children he studied were brought up in 'very strict' religious homes.

The second great study that was examined by Zuckerman, Silberman and Hall was based on New York's Hunter College Elementary School for the intellectually gifted.

Graduates with IQ's over 140 aged between 38 and 50 were contacted and it was found that only 16 percent had derived any personal satisfaction from religion.

When countries were examined by Richard Lynn of the University of Ulster in 2009, the positive correlation between intelligence and atheism was a strong one.

While the data shows the positive correlation between intelligence and lack of religiosity, Zuckerman, Silbreman and Hall were more concerned with the reasons why.


According to the study even during early years the more intelligent a child is the more likely it would be to turn away from religion

One possibility the three researchers hit on was that intelligent people are less likely to conform and therefore more likely to resist relgious dogma.

Indeed, they discovered a correlation between the rise in atheism of intelligent people if they live in religious communities because they do not want to conform.

The most common explanation is that intelligent people do not like to accept any beliefs that cannot be tested according to an article in Arstechnica.com

The final reason they hit upon was that intelligence and its merits provides the function of religion to those who are blessed enough to have a high IQ.

Also, although the review encompasses all studies conducted from 1928 to 2012, it only does so for studies written in the English language.

And Zuckerman also warns that, despite there being thousands of participants overall, ranging among all ages, almost all of them belong to Western society.

More to the point, 87 percent of those involved in the studies were from the U.S. the UK and Canada - making the study mainly about Protestants, not Jews or Catholics.

Secara umum tak bijak namun ada juga yg bijak. Cuba lihat golongan agama di Malaysia apa sumbangan mereka kepada kemajuan & ekonomi negara.
