          Don't see your point Cojak. Skeptics are skeptical of everything.
          Have you heard of Occam's razor? The best explanation is usually (but not always) the most parsimonious one.

            Intelligent people more secular?

            There are lots of intelligent people who are religious. I infer from your headline that thick people are more religious..

            I'm not religious but you're right - I'm sceptical of anyone looking to rubbish their opponent in debate.

            Here's more open minded questioning.

              It's a bit of a generalisation, though

              It's like the stupid people vote Labour argument.
              Which runs something like, people who vote Labour are not necessarily stupid, but people who are stupid tend to vote Labour.
              (Note, you can change Labour for whichever your bete-noire is).
              Why not?

                Or "most muslims aren't international terrorists but most international terrorists are muslims".
