Ah, here we go, the main point from the study is:

"I'm not saying that believing in God makes you dumber. My hypothesis is that people with a low intelligence are more easily drawn toward religions, which give answers that are certain, while people with a high intelligence are more skeptical."

Which makes more sense than what you were saying.

What? Thats not the main point, the data was the main point, not a quote. The study is pretty complex and lengthy actually.

It was 137 countries, I'm trying to find # of people. For USA it was 6,825 adolescents, which ain't too shabby.

Well it's not quick becoming a world-famous prog-rock musician.

I'm very observant of my religion (Luciferian) . . . animal and child sacrifices, Black Mass, group orgies, impregnating women named Rosemary against their will in order to carry the Devil's child, summoning Belial and Astaroth to posses little chubby girls . . . well, you get the idea!
