→Weak atheism and individuals with low intelligence
[[Weak Atheism]] (sometimes referred to as "negative [[atheism]]") describes a belief system and philosophical stance whereby a person lacks a belief in God/gods. Using this very broad definition of definition of atheism, there are atheists who argue that babies are atheists (Of course, atheists cannot verify what is in the minds of babies).<ref>[https://carm.org/are-babies-born-atheists Are babies born atheists?] by Matt Slick</ref> Also, using this very broad definition of definition of atheism, it could be argued that individuals with severe mental disabilities and/or individuals born with extremely low IQs are more apt to be weak atheists (Of course, this also would be difficult to verify in many cases). This helps explain why the General Social Survey (GSS) data has twice as many low IQ atheists as high IQ atheists.<ref>[http://voxday.blogspot.com/2014/01/mailvox-distribution-of-atheist.html Mailvox: The distribution of atheist intelligence]</ref>
