    I am competitive. I also aknowledge that it is better to live in a caring society than in a "every man/woman for himself" world.

    No it doesn't. In fact, it says that it doesn't say that. "The IQ differences, while statistically significant, are not stunning -- on the order of 6 to 11 points -- and the data should not be used to stereotype or make assumptions about people, experts say." You can't read and yet you are claiming to be smarter than me.

    Any such correlation probably isn't stronger than the correlation between liberalism and intelligence.

    Yes. That was to stop people from giving an example of a smart theist and then claiming the article was full of crap.
