Incomplete

The article seems to rely on old studies without mentioning newer ones. 67.68.221.137 (talk) 18:17, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Category Error

So far, I have read some sections where it tried to explain that Religion is not necessarily a property of Theism; which is quite very important. Why I am commenting this is, because some people have used this source as a backup that Atheists have higher IQs than Theists. Sadly, Religion vs Atheism is a category error, Best balance would be a research on IQs of Theists vs Atheists. If we don't have such explicit research and data, I sincerely think, for those alluding that, they are just holding onto straws. Gettruth01 (talk) 22:38, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Highest IQ

South Korean, Kim Young Hoon has been recognized as the person with the highest IQ in human history, at 276. He is also a self-professing Christian. ~2026-10113-69 (talk) 11:14, 15 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This could be worth adding! May someone please help find a WP:RS for this and add it in? Félix An (talk) 14:43, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

IQ is not a valid measure of intelligence tho. Simonm223 (talk) 14:50, 27 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
