"Most studies have shown a negative correlation between religiosity and IQ"
If you read all my previous post you'd see I clearly accounted for this 'research'. Again, in a nutshell, there are Muslims out there who are smarter than most atheists. I acknowledge the trend you are highlighting (which Wikipedia states more or less is influenced by demographic and socioeconomic factors) but you cannot claim definitive superiority in this area.
Although I can see how driven you are in this topic for whatever reason and will not change your mind, I'll go ahead and use a hypothetical scenario anyway; a high IQ person is born and baptised a Christian and remains a Christian. How does his religion possibly impact his natural intelligence given at birth?
I realise this is a poorly structured post on tapatalk haha but I think you get the idea.
