IQ vs. Religiosity

`The graph shown above relates the arithmetic mean IQ measured in various country’s populations, to the fraction of each country’s population that believes religion is very important.

The green diamonds represent individual countries; the yellow line is a linear regression (y = mx + b), calculated by the least squares method. The United States data point is circled in red.’

The gist is that religiosity is inversely proportional to intelligence. I’m not all that surprised. [shrug] 🙂
