I was surprised at how low Catholics and Jehovah's Witnesses were..

Also surprising is the "nothing in particular' category, which seems to imply irreligious, was so low.

All religious people are uneducated.

Catholics were close to the national average. Jehovah's Witnesses, not to much.

Another thing to consider is the percentage of the population of a group.

What matters more?: a group that is 90% asshole but only .1% of the population or a group that is 51% asshole and 90% of the population?

It's not that difficult to spot irrational people. They are closed-minded, only see a certain POV, and become emotional when confronted.

Isaac Newton was educated.

60 percent is really high. The national average is only 27 percent.

Good point, Jehovah's witness is a small fringe. I don't think I even know anyone who is Jehovah's witness.

You're bitching because Jews are over twice the national average? LOL

Total bullshit.
For one thing, dumbass, Anglican and Episcopal are one and the same.

Oh, we get door knockers a couple times a year, I didn't know their affiliation!

Statistics don't lie but people who misuse or misconstrue those numbers could cause misinformation.

Math was never my forte but between two degrees requiring classes in statistics and a lot of trips to Vega in the early '80s, I learned a lot about calculating odds.

Isaac Newton was educated.

And he had very divergent views from other Christians.

Atheists have higher IQs than the religious. They have come to their conclusions based on introspection and examination rather than blind acceptance of dogma.

You must be getting used to being chronically wrong

Are religious people really less smart, on average, than atheists? | BPS

Various studies have found that, on average, belief in God is associated with lower scores on IQ tests.

lol 'College' after the early 1970's is just the equivalent of 7th grade in the early 1960's and maybe 4th grade in the 1950's.

Yet there is zero evidence of that here in the left wing deviants and commies. Of course, you being a dumbass and think citing these fake 'studies' suddenly makes anybody think you must be educated too is just hilarious. lol

Sorry, but I'm not seeing it in either you nor Perry. Also, I'm still waiting for you to prove your superior intelligence by answering my questions without your usual schoolyard insults. Example:

Let’s try again, Jethro. No hate. Merely observations on people who blindly accept the supernatural without proof. It shows how powerful early indoctrination is. All those stats apply equally, or more so, in Muslim countries, which means those beliefs are more a function of where you were born versus the actual truth.

Born in rural Utah? Probably Mormon.
Born in Italy? Catholic.
Born in Saudi Arabia? Muslim

Catch the drift, Rufus? Your religion is a matter of coincidence, not logic.

Jethro? Rufus? Your hatred and anger are clear to see, domer76.

What is my religion? Please tell me. I'm truly curious.

FWIW, I have no problem being wrong. A wise man taught me many years ago to make mistakes. It's how I'd learn.
Why are you so afraid of being wrong, domer76?

let's check your rationality.

why is sending all the jobs away or importing cheaper replacement workers smart in the long run?

you refuse to examine or modify your idiotic globalist beliefs.

that's your religion and you're dumber than a paper weight.
