Lynn’s Observation on Religious Belief

Richard Lynn

Clever people are atheists. Cleverer people aren’t.

According to Professor Richard Lynn, a higher proportion of clever people consider themselves atheists than the national average. But really clever people – Dante, Shakespeare, Milton – are big enough to believe in God.

Some never work it out, despite their intelligence. Charles Darwin believed in God when he was young, but in later life became confused on the subject. Eventually he declared that “generally (and more & more as I grow older), but not always, an agnostic would be the most correct description of my state of mind”
