→African atheism and intelligence
[[Howard Gardner]] at [[Harvard University]] has identified various distinct intelligences: interpersonal, intrapersonal, visual–spatial, verbal–linguistic, logical–mathematical, musical–rhythmic, bodily–kinesthetic, and naturalistic.<ref>[http://www.tecweb.org/styles/gardner.html Multiple Ingelligence]</ref>

In addition, later still, Gardner indicated that existential intelligence exists.<ref>[https://www.thoughtco.com/existential-intelligence-profile-8097 Teaching Students With Existential Intelligence]</ref> See: [[Theory of multiple intelligences]]
Later still, Gardner proposed the concept of existential intelligence.
According to Thoughtco.com:
{{Cquote|Existential intelligence involves an individual's ability to use collective values and intuition to understand others and the world around them. People who excel in this intelligence typically are able to see the big picture. [[Philosophy|Philosophers]], [[Theology|theologians]] and life coaches are among those that Gardner sees as having high existential intelligence.<ref>[https://www.thoughtco.com/existential-intelligence-profile-8097 Teaching Students With Existential Intelligence]</ref>}}
The majority of philosophers of [[religion]], or those who have extensively studied the issue of the [[Arguments for the existence of God|existence of God]], are [[theism|theists]] (72 percent).<ref name="strangenotions.com">[http://www.strangenotions.com/atheist-scientists/ Does it matter that many scientists are atheists?]</ref>
Despite atheism existing for thousands of years and predating [[Christianity]], there is a small proportion of [[atheist art]] compared to religious art. For example, [[Wikipedia]], which again was founded by an atheist and agnostic, has no article on "[[Atheist art]]", but Wikipedia does have an article on Christian art. Similarly, there is a small proportion of [[atheist music]] compared to religious music.
