Several studies on Americans focus on the beliefs of high-IQ individuals. In one study, 90% of the general population surveyed professed a distinct belief in a personal god and afterlife, while only 40% of the scientists with a BS surveyed did so, and only 10% of those considered "eminent."[4]. Another study found that mathematicians were just over 40%, biologists just under 30%, and physicists were barely over 20% likely to believe in God.[5]
Do you think religion stunts intelectual growth? Wouldn't that be a form of child abuse to subject young children to religion? Children can be taught moral values with out the help of religion, I was and I have an IQ of 160. Higher than my parents who were forced to attend church when they were children.
