The typical person that meeting MENSA guidelines thinks critically and rationally .. they are more deductive reasoners, than theists. They base decisions on known reality, rather than perceived interpretation.
Theists get lost in thought, and those that are rationally minded sort through the information presented and find the answer.
It applies to religious beliefs the same as it applies to mathematical equations.

It means somebody is probably lying. People define what they mean by "god" in many different ways, including MENSA members. Some are atheists I'm sure, but to say they all are is at best, misleading. Best way to find out what a MENSA member thinks? Try asking them!

It just means that everyone belonging to MENSA is much to intelligent to believe in a god or gods, because after all, religion cannot be proven and has no scientific basis.

That someone in Mensa did not make up that phrase.

I know there used to be a theist in MENSA but he let his membership expire. I let mine expire too but I am not a theist..

LOL
Saying "There are no theists in Mensa" implies that theists are intellectually inferior to atheists. It's as false and insulting as "There are no atheists in foxholes," which implies that atheists are not as sincere in their disbelief as theists are in their belief.

the phrase doesn't mean any thing, especially to a MENSA member? We all have a god, people worship beer, job, pets, kids, etc...some worship their own intellect.

Probably not much really.
I was curious about looking into joining once, until I had a good look at their website and decided it rather talk politics and religion in other forums.
They seemed like a pretty miserable bunch.

It's a falsehood. I can attest that there are, in fact, quite a number of us in MENSA.

They are trying to say that Theists don't have very high IQs.
