Sounds plausible. I'll have to check the study properly later (if I remember), but certainly sounds plausible. It's actually quite surprising but it sounds like it's hard to get the study somehow wrong.

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.

Excellent point. And considering how simple the study sounds, there isn't really much room for error there. The only potential major source of error is a small study group, and I don't know the size of the group (because I don't have time to resolve it) so I don't really know if that's an issue (I'm guessing it's not).

Radical atheists are deeply religious as well.

They believe in the religion of being condescending douchebags.

Do you have anything to say about the study though? Anything wrong with the methodology?
