just to note, atheism isn't a set of beliefs, nor an outlook. it is simply the rejection of theistic claims/beliefs. It is not a position position, meaning it doesn't say anything about what an atheist does believe.. for instance humanism or naturalism would be a set a beliefs that an atheist might subscribe to, but atheism in itself is not a belief, but the lack of belief in theistic claims. Humanism = possible atheistic worldview. atheism = not a worldview but a response to theistic claims.

This  show is much better than TYT

Atheists use their brains to study and understand the world around them. Believers use their brains to study and understand a tale of a magical kingdom they wish they lived in... --_--"

When he talks about "looking at a trendline", he should have made a graph, fit a trendline and calculate its statistical significance. We can't tell it by looking at the raw data.

[mjh012363]

LOL! Many of the states that score high have prestigious universities which attract high IQ students thus skewing the data. (Not to say that religion doesn't tend to obstruct an individual's ability to learn but that has little to do with IQ since at least 80% of IQ is genetic.)

[TruthSerumification]

There's nothing illogical about having faith. What's illogical is blindly following a belief system, when there are many objections that challenge it.

I a fabulous quote - "Atheism is a religion like NOT collecting stamps is a hobby"

[DKshad0w]

@sysvinit They want their cake and eat it too. Nom nom nom.

[sysvinit]

Helmuth Nyborg and Richard Lynn conduct a studying showing secularism is positively correlated with IQ -- YouTube atheists love it.

Helmuth Nybord and Richard Lynn conduct a study on racial differences in IQ -- YouTube atheists scream pseudoscience.

[RamStrikk]

it's an easy path out, whats easier for the average poor person: getting an education or asking god to get them out of their situation?

[SmogHouseTradingCo]

@seans10 Why? You start off by saying some mindless retarded comment, so I'm going to return the favour, see how this works? Y u mad bro?

[seans10]
