Know (or believe) how far that extends?
Why?
I don't know if, by "supernatural intervention," you might mean by God, but it has always seemed to me that if God is all that most people claim, it can hardly be likely He would change His mind about something already decided just because somebody down here didn't like it.
Why Are Atheists Generally Smarter Than Religious People? | Live Science
The evidence to support this overall general negative association between religion and intelligence keeps building, and such results have been replicated in many studies. I think at this point the evidence is fairly strong that this general negative association between religion and intelligence is real and that the question now is to understand its nature and what it means.
Understand that we are talking about a general overall trend, and not any one person or group, so we are not talking about anyone's religion. Now there are several proposed explanations. Such as suggesting religious people are more in line with intuitive thinking rather than analytical thinking, and this fails to show on a conventional test of intelligence. Others suggest that this negative trend is more closely linked with fundamentalism than all of religion. There seems to be a number of different suggested explanations.
So why do you think this general negative association between religion and intelligence exist? What are your theories?
Feel free to bring in other studies, I have looked at a few and they have interesting ones out there, but keep in mind that the evidence for this negative association has been replicated many times in many different scenarios, so the question of if it actually exists is not the focus of this debate. What we want to do now is understand the nature of this association.

Oh really? Name a religious belief that doesn't include God, gods or a Creator.
