1st response ..dah

The piece also states that ‘religion is growing,’ - linking to another piece that states muslim’s are reproducing faster … thus the world is ‘becoming more religious.’ I’ve heard the opposite - that the industrialized, or civilized world is becoming less religious... Therefore, humanity is not collectively becoming dumber, only a less educated portion of it, in this case, muslims.

....found this interesting, “As predicted, the atheists performed better overall than the religious participants, even after controlling for demographic factors like age and education. Agnostics tended to place between atheists and believers on all tasks.” -- I’ve always wondered what the real difference was

Yep... it's a fact even though the have a few smart guys .
