etson, as with any studies there are limits. The studies I looked at had self-reported religiosity, its hard to do it any other way. So read into that what you will. Social Psychology Quartely had one study not many moons ago. Not exactly Nature or Science, I’ll concede that.
“how are they measuring religiousness and intelligence in an objective manner” — with a yardstick of course. May not have those in europe but we don’t trust those meter sticks here. None of that socialist stuff.
“Obama is way too intelligent to be “very religious”.”
Are you serious? Some of the greatest thinkers in human history have been devoutly religious. This is rather out of vogue among those who self-identify as intellectuals these days but that does not mean there is a positive correlation over time between atheism and intelligence.
Yes, thank you Lech. Like Etson, I believe that that topic is too difficult and too important to address well in “blogposts”. But you just did a pretty good job.

“one can clearly see he is not a religious person.”

I like how lechacal so easily riles the intellectual crowd here.
1.) foreskins are totally disgusting and oftentimes can completely ruin a porno scene!!
You don’t enjoy a good “docking” scene???? Let me tell you about this guy Chan I met in Pattaya…..
Have I told you how a good one is like calamari????
Which sociological studies and how are they measuring religiousness and intelligence in an objective manner in a large enough sample?
