Usually atheists and liberals are dedicated to their passions and goals in life, and they don't necessarily waste their time deciding who should they vote for or who should they worship.

Worship and voting rights are not a waste of time
Anyone can clearly balance out and dedicate their life to one aspect. Shou jeb wasting time lal 2ossa?

God's existence is hardly an unimportant issue. Be that for atheists or believers. I've never seen an atheist who wasn't interested in debating God's existence
Which is why i quote that part of the article.
Furthermore i clearly mentioned that the study was taken in the U.S. Which is why you should take into account the social background of those people.
Had it been done in iran for example things would have been quite different.
Being atheist or religious has nothing to do with the IQ. That was my point. It's just that atheists naturally come from an educated background.
If you had believers from that same educated background they could easily balance out their life and worry about science just like an atheist would and possibly more. Shou iran's nuclear scientists are wasting their time worshiping God ya3ne
?? No they were clearly able to balance out their belief and dedicate their life to nuclear science.
And "brain space" has nothing to do with it. Ma fi 7ada 3abba mokho la mtala
Believing in God does not and should not hinder man's progress. Get the facts straight.
(How that belief in God is exploited by oppressive systems is a whole other matter.)

La2 7abibe hek ma byenfa3 badak te2ra lli 3am n2oolo la tefham shou 2elna 3an l article. I'm not against what was stated in the article as to the comparison between the average IQ of atheists and the average IQ of believers. That's only normal considering the educational background of both sides. I'm against your inadequate and lacking interpretation of the results of the study that involved expressions such as "waste of time" and "brain space".
