Research has already been done proving that the higher a person's faith in his/her religion, the lower their I.Q.
Asking people what their IQ is on a website without any verification is not research.

Not sure, but apart from the fact that the methodology for obtaining an IQ is highly questionable, people who put any value on a high IQ need a serious irony-check. IQ was originally designed to measure mental retardation.

My IQ is 144 and I'm an atheist. Though I doubt your IQ score has anything to do with being an atheist. There is no direct correlation between the two.

!Q tests are a very inaccurate way to test ones intelligence. IQ tests only measure verbal and math skills. They even do a poor job at that. There are so many other different types of intelligences that IQ tests could never measure.

It may be high, but the thing the most crucial questions are not in the IQ tests, and their answers to those questions have more impact of any MENSA membership.

I doubt there are any statistics on that. It's not like your religion (or lack of) is a question on IQ tests.
I would assume they are high average though because of the studies done that do prove an inverse correlation between intelligence and religiosity.

148. I'm more of a Deist though. Also dont think it matters much since i've had intelligent friends that are of many different creeds but it never hurts to research ^.^

I've never had mine tested... and I don't know for sure about anyone elses. Sorry.
What kind of "research" are you conducting? Are you federally funded? Are you choosing random samples from the population at large? Are you relying on any particular IQ test as the most trustworthy or accurate?

Hmm ok.
My IQ is 129.
My husband's IQ is 146.
We are both atheists.
Have never taken an !Q test.
LOL why the thumbs down? Because I actually answered the question? It's just a number, people. Chill.
