It’s always amusing to see atheists make their rhetorical argumentum ad mentum by appealing to the fact that atheists have higher average intelligence than religious believers. This is where the coinage of the term “midwit” has been useful, because it allows people to easily through the irrelevance of this appeal to a nonexistent, and frankly ludicrious, asserted authority, such as this particular denizen of /pol/......
- Atheists have a higher average intelligence than religious believers.
- Africans have a lower average intelligence than Europeans or Asians.
- The 10 countries with the highest percentage of self-identified Christians are in Africa.
- The man with the highest reported IQ declares himself to be a Christian.
- PZ Myers was the only New Atheist with an IQ high enough to even get into Mensa.
- There are 11.4x more 2D+ IQ Christians than atheists.
Interestingly enough, science officially supports my hypothesis that atheism is merely one aspect of autism, as both published studies of which I am aware have failed to falsify the link between a personal profession of atheism and scoring significantly higher on various measures of “Asperger’s” and autism.
Combined with what we know about atheists having slightly higher average intelligence but being underrepresented among the high-IQ population, we can logically conclude that atheism is little more than a common characteristic of autistic midwits.
