    It's not entirely clear why non-religious people are more intelligent - but the difference varies with age. At University the divide is the strongest.

    Whereas later in life, more intelligent people are more likely to get and stay married which makes them less reliant on the attachment that the function of religion provides.

    • From the conlusion: ...as people possessing the functions that religion provides are likely to adopt atheism, people lacking these very functions...Morning_star
    • ...(e.g., the poor, the helpless) are likely to adopt theism.Morning_star
