Countries vary in terms of their national IQ scores.<ref name="CountryIQ">[https://iq-research.info/en/page/average-iq-by-country WORLD RANKING OF COUNTRIES BY THEIR AVERAGE]</ref> In terms of the various [[Atheist Population|atheist population]]s in the world, there is a significant amount of variance as far as the cultures they reside in terms of their regional intelligence levels (see: [[Asian atheism and intelligence]] and [[Secular Europe and intelligence]] and [[American atheism and intelligence]] and [[Irreligious Australia and intelligence]]).
