Why is it that clever people tend to be atheist most of the time?

because you don’t need to be wise to be witty

Because those people think about things like that. Normies don't want to think about god, death, life. They want to coom and do what they are told

Depends on the kind of atheist, the retarded dogmatist, and the atheistic atheist who hold no awnser unquestionable. Im sure intelligent people fall into the later.

Is this a question pertaining to /lit/ or a question masquerading as having some basis in philosophy? Even so, your anecdotal observations can be just as easily interchanged.
>why is it that atheists tend to be clever people most of the time?
Great question OP, I'll answer that one. On second thought let's shuffle around some components, because.. Why the hell not?
>why is it that religious people tend to proselytize on the sidewalk when I'm very clearly not in the mood to read your pamphlet about eternal damnation?
Damn OP, dunno. Sounds rude.
>why is it that clever people tend to speak cleverly about clever things that are intuitive and ingrained in their bones whereas religious people sound like nutjobs professing sophistry on their pulpits, of which, hardly had any intellectual merit in the Levantine region during the fucking bronze age, but are more than happy to willfully play make-believe?
Another bruiser OP, I imagine they believe it to be righteous and they conflate modern ethics with morality.
>God is alive and dead and it doesn't make an iota of difference which ethereal body you yank out of Schrodinger's bag because ultimately, its a boring subject, and should hold no weight in ironized or genuine discourse.
Talk about books OP. Much more fun.

>An analysis of the specialized abilities on which the religious and non-religious groups differ reveals no clear pattern. We cautiously suggest that this may be explicable in terms of autism spectrum disorder traits among people with high IQ scores, because such traits are negatively associated with religiousness.

I think god exists but not in the way religious people want you to believe. I think atheists are excessively confident when the fact is nobody knows anything for certain.

It's a bell curve. Low IQ people tend to believe in God. Midwits are atheists. High IQ people tend to believe in God.

Because it's the truth. Truth often trumps falsehoods.

Clever people aren’t anything, self-labeling is what dumb people do.
