Alright. Logic lesson. If there is a negative correlation between religiosity and intelligence tests, then there is a positive correlation between irreligiosity and intelligence tests. Simply because religiosity and irreligiosity are opposites. It's a logical consequence.
Also, correlation doesn't imply causation. The original post never spoke of causation. You're the one talking about it.
Finally, I don't think O'nus point with this thread was to bitch. If any single person on this entire forum is reasonable, it's him. Any other person (including me) would brag about the correlation, but he didn't. Now please stop accusing him of something he didn't do. Of course he could be biased because he is irreligious, but he wasn't - simply because he's only posting a statistical fact, and not building a philosophical argument. For the tenth time in this thread: there are no arguments against facts.
The only thing you could attack in the statistics is the method of evaluation of intelligence, but unless you are a pedagogue or a psychiatrist, I don't think you're qualified to do it.
