How exactly do atheust have better intelligence and individuality than persons belonging to a noble religion?

[aldine96]

For years I've read articles and studies conducted in Europe and North America stating that non religious people are more intelligent than religious people, I can't remember where I found them but when I read them they didn't give details as to how this was conducted, how exactly do you determine or measure someone's intelligence? IQ isn't real, people can cleverly cheat through their education and not learn anything, and being intelligent requires more than just utilizing complex words but also having critical thinking skills and adaptive learning.

I think for noble religions like orthodox christianity or Islam or Sikhism it would have to require a level of intelligence and deep in depth thinking before entering into one of those kinds of lifes. The biggest NPC's I know were always the people lgbt reddit tier atheist people who dont care about their surrounding social and cultural environment as they are persistently occupied with themselves and not being rather loving, not that all atheists are like that but there are too many that act in this stereotypical fashion. If you were to make breathing illegal I believe many of them will willfully stop breathing just to obey the law, these are the same type of people who are consumerists and are one dimensional shallow individuals lacking vivid and personality depth.

People in this day and age who are westernized really don't want to be told what to do to better themselves, many of them want to be happy without love which is a narcissistic trait.

Properly grounded Christians are less focused on Self and governed by a higher authority which drives one toward excellence in all things. There are few of the "crazy and creepy" but the media likes to find them and suggest all are that way. Christian ethic offends the world and is a target to the Culture.

We do not fight our Creator but are In Christ Jesus which frees up a lot of time, attitude, and provides a positive and achievement grounded living and doing. Atheism is a religion too but nonsensical grounded in Carl Rogers humanism and solely Self as God. Self-Respect, Self-Concept, and Self-Individuality etc...

Their own guiding Force ending in emptiness and hollowness. Man as fallen individuals is incapable to improve, via any means outside of In Christ Jesus, to be better than they currently are. There is no way that a fallen Self can perfect oneself as fallen is all the Self knows as a knowledge of Perfection is not in them.

Putin, WWI, and all the history of man, educated or nor, never improving in and through Self. It is a horrible way of living where this hell hole is all that their is in their world. The "best life" they will ever experience. Ultimately, it is a spiritual issue and an improper understand of Being.

Do you have ADD? Because you are ALL OVER the map with your tirade. But let's start at the beginning:

1st.) If you can't cite or properly dissect an article - don't bother mentioning it, especially since it sounds like you only read the headline and may be the first paragraph, summarizing the results of the study. It's intellectually disingenuous to any discussion and a red herring.

2nd.) Intelligence has more to do with the capabilities of the brain and mind than with how much you know or how good you are in math vs. history. The brain is a very malleable organ made of muscles that can be strengthened and altered with various exercises. So Intelligence and religion don't necessarily hold water to prove any sort of point.

2nd.) The rest of your tirade reflects more of yourself than of the reality you are trying to express with words like "Noble religion" and "westernized".

P. S it's Atheist*

Well, the person asked for honest opinions and these are their opinions, as valid as yours. Is there life after death? Someone prove it. Isn’t there life after death? Someone prove it. Christian. It’s not ADD. It’s Asperger’s Syndrome by the way.

I don’t think atheist are more intelligent but more open minded. To religious people being an opened minded = more sex so their minded is short tempered and perverted they don’t have patience to ask why exactly atheists are open minded..!
It’s true that in a way religious people do not question things..
I don’t have any proper religion ‘ I wasn’t labeled at birth like a sheep ‘ because my parents were born and grew up in an atheist country. So I have the luxury to chose or drop any religion I found right. I came to a conclusion that I’m an Agnostic.
I don’t want to label god into avatar or guru names as Jesus or Muhammad etc!

At least we know how to spell atheist. 🤷‍♀️

Most atheists were brought up in some faith, but after considerable thought they rejected it. After CONSIDERABLE THOUGHT.

[aldine96]

In the Western world they become atheist because they were brought up in either a shit religion or brought up in the reprobate west that encourages them to act like reprobates

[slatyb]

LOL. My friends and I became atheists because there was no convincing evidence that God is real. As people become better informed, they become less religious.

Because atheists are more concerned with the truth than with dogma. We actually try to learn, we see the world as it is, not as we are told by a supposed supernatural entity.

[aldine96]

Jesus: "what is truth"

[This_Is_My_Opinion8]

What we can show to be true. Of you can't show it then you don't know it

Atheism is a religion based on the hatred of Christianity
