Link: Intelligent people 'less likely to believe in God' - Telegraph
Professor Lynn said religious belief had declined in the 20th century.
Professor Richard Lynn, emeritus professor of psychology at Ulster University, said many more members of the "intellectual elite" considered themselves atheists than the national average.
A decline in religious observance over the last century was directly linked to a rise in average intelligence, he claimed.
But the conclusions - in a paper for the academic journal Intelligence - have been branded "simplistic" by critics.
Professor Lynn, who has provoked controversy in the past with research linking intelligence to race and sex, said university academics were less likely to believe in God than almost anyone else.
A survey of Royal Society fellows found that only 3.3 per cent believed in God - at a time when 68.5 per cent of the general UK population described themselves as believers.
A separate poll in the 90s found only seven per cent of members of the American National Academy of Sciences believed in God.
Professor Lynn said most primary school children believed in God, but as they entered adolescence - and their intelligence increased - many started to have doubts.
He told Times Higher Education magazine: "Why should fewer academics believe in God than the general population? I believe it is simply a matter of the IQ. Academics have higher IQs than the general population. Several Gallup poll studies of the general population have shown that those with higher IQs tend not to believe in God."
He said religious belief had declined across 137 developed nations in the 20th century at the same time as people became more intelligent.
But Professor Gordon Lynch, director of the Centre for Religion and Contemporary Society at Birkbeck College, London, said it failed to take account of a complex range of social, economic and historical factors.
"Linking religious belief and intelligence in this way could reflect a dangerous trend, developing a simplistic characterisation of religion as primitive, which - while we are trying to deal with very complex issues of religious and cultural pluralism - is perhaps not the most helpful response," he said.
Dr Alistair McFadyen, senior lecturer in Christian theology at Leeds University, said the conclusion had "a slight tinge of Western cultural imperialism as well as an anti-religious sentiment".
Dr David Hardman, principal lecturer in learning development at London Metropolitan University, said: "It is very difficult to conduct true experiments that would explicate a causal relationship between IQ and religious belief. Nonetheless, there is evidence from other domains that higher levels of intelligence are associated with a greater ability - or perhaps willingness - to question and overturn strongly felt institutions."

Njerëzit më inteligjentë janë më të prirur për të mos besuar ne Zot
Profesori Lin tha se besimi ne fe ka rene ne shekullin e 20'te.
Profesori Riçard Lin, profesor nderi i psikologjise ne Universitetin e Ulsterit thote se shume me shume anetare te "elites intelektuale" konsiderojne veten si ateiste sesa mesatarja kombetare.
Nje renie ne ndjekjet e zakoneve fetare gjate shekullit te fundit ishte lidhur drejtperdrejt me nje rritje ne mesataren e inteligjences, pretendon ai.
Por konkluzionet, ne nje artikull per gazeten akademike te Inteligjences - jane damkosur si "semplist" nga kritiket.
Profesori Lin, qe ka provokuar mosmarrveshje ne te kaluaren me kerkime qe lidhin inteligjencen me rracen he seksin, thote se akademiket e universitetit ka te ngjare te besojne me pak ne Zot se cdokush tjeter.
Nje studim i Shoqates Mbreterore (Royal Society) gjeti se vetem 3.3 per qind besojne ne Zot - ne nje kohe kur 68.5 per qind te popullit pergjithshem ne UK pershkruan veten si besimtare.
Nje ankete e ndare, ne 90'ten gjeti se vetem 7 per qind e anetareve te Akademise Kombetare te Shkences ne Amerike besonte ne Zot.
Profesor Lin thote se shumica e femijeve ne shkolle fillore besojne ne zot, por kur futen ne moshe te adoleshences - dhe inteligjenca ju rritet - shume prej tyre nisin te kene dyshime.
Ai i tha revistes se arsimit Time Higher: "Pse duhet qe me pak akademike te besojne ne zot sesa populli i pergjithshem? Une besoj qe eshte thjesht nje ceshtje e IQ. Akademiket kane nje IQ me te larte se populli i pergjithshem. Disa studime anketash per popullin e pergjithshem tregojne se ato me IQ me te larte nuk besojne ne Zot."
Ai tha se besimi fetar ka rene permes 137 kombeve te zhvilluara ne shekullin e 20'te ne te njejten kohe qe populli eshte bere me inteligjent.
Por Profesor Gordon Linch, drejtor ne qendren per fe dhe shoqeri bashkekohore ne kolegjin Bërkbek, ne Londer, thote se deshtoi te merte parasysh disa shtrirje te nderlikuara te faktoreve social, ekonomik dhe historik.
"Te lidhesh besimin fetar dhe inteligjencen ne kete menyre mund te reflektoje nje tendence te rrezikshme, te zhvillosh karakterizimin semplist te fese si primitiv, qe - gjate kohes qe ne po mundohemi te merremi me ceshtje komplekse te fese dhe pluralizmit kulturor - mbase nuk eshte pergjigje e dobishme," thoite ai.
Dr Alister MkFaden, pedagog universiteti i vjeter ne teologjine Kristiane ne Universitetin e Lids, thote se konkluzioni ka "ngjyrim te paket te imperializmit kulturor te Perendimit, po ashtu dhe nje ndjenje anti-fetare".
Dr David Hardmen, pedagog kryesor ne zhvillimin e mesimit ne Universitetin Metropolitan te Londres, thote "Eshte shume e veshtire te percosh eksperimente te verteta qe shpjegojne nje mardhenie rastesore mes IQ dhe besimit fetar. Prapseprape, ka evidence nga zona te tjera te niveleve te larta te inteligjences qe jane te shoqeruara me aftesi me te mira - ose ndoshta vullnet - te pyesin dhe te rrezojne institucione te ndjera."
p.s. perkthim i shpejte per Sensuu dhe ato qe nuk kuptojne shume Anglisht. (Ndoshta nuk eshte shume i sakte, por pjesa derrmuese kuptohet)
