“It may be that the religious rump really are the low-IQ and they have more kids,” he says, “but recent evidence in the West shows that fertility is higher among Masters-educated women than BA or high school. Also that church attendance is higher among the middle than lower class. And we know that Mormons who are successful have more kids than less successful Mormons – indeed, the lower class are generally less churched than the middle. So it’s a complicated story.”"[http://catholicherald.co.uk/issues/may-5th-2017/the-next-evolution/] [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 04:44, 6 July 2018 (EDT)

I hope I am doing this correctly. Zuckerman did a larger meta-analysis that he published in October 2019 addressing some of the previous methodological shortcomings. I've written on this in a new blog post, "[http://swilling.com/are-religious-people-dumb/ Are religious people dumber?]" in which I contend that the result may be valid but meaningless. Just let me know if you'd like to incorporate any of what I wrote. I won't edit it myself.  I also don't know how to insert my identity (Steve Willing) so hopefully this will happen automatically.
