This study http://www.sciencedaily.com/... says that on average, smarter people are more likely to be athiests and liberal. Smarter men are also more likely to be monogamous apparently.
This information is not causal. It could be that smarter people feel like they need to be liberal as a signal to other smart people of how smart they are. On the other hand of course, it could be that these really are just the smart choices.
So are liberals elitist wimpy snobs, with males who can't even get on with mission one of impregnating as many females as possible because they are always clacking on Dkos?
Or could it be that we don't believe in God, and do believe in progressive causes because those are the smart choices?
I don't know ( well actually of course I think I do). But its nice to see scientific evidence that secular, non God-fearing Libs are just smarter. I think.
