Forums - Politics Discussion - Religious people understand the world less, study suggests

Does it matter? For the future of humanity? Yes, more science and less religion.

Does it matter to the average joe? Absolutely not :/

I'm honestly fixing sick of these troll threads popping up in my feed...



Superstitious people are superstitious.



Well, religion basically originated from giving personalities to things like fire and lightning ...

I don't think this is necessarily inaccurate. Many less intelligent people are drawn to religion. However, that is not the same as saying all or most people who are drawn to religion are less intelligent.



I completely believe this

Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the test.

Because stuff like this is the conclusion.

I'm totally sure I won't be locking this in a few hours due to angry athiests and thiests fighting over "Im smrter than u cuz i dun belive in a sky wizard (they think repeating this enough will make them look clever for whatever reason) an u dooo!" and then the thiests will go "u cnt prov god aint real so ur dumb" and then the children cry and scream until we have to ban them and lock the inevitable response threads. It's all the same really. Happens every. single. time. It's depressing. It's stupid. And you could use that energy to post on a good thread that doesn't promote anal fissure anger that these threads seem to produce.



Yeah, I can see that.

I'd rather make company with a "religious" person who's doing some good to his community than an "intelligent" person who's caught up in his pride of "knowledge." And there are situations like this, and we all know it. So in essence, this "religious" person might know more about the world from a humanitarian standpoint which is what ultimately matters in the long run. And make no mistake that I'll make company with most anyone. This just serves as an illustration that the world isn't as black and white as some "intelligent" people might have assumed.



Shoking! I wouldn't have expected that at all!
