Although this was back in 1990, I want to make a point.



For Turkey, 65% of people think religion is important, and the country had an IQ of 90 (now 96 and 86% literacy rate of an 80 million popualtion)



In Pakistan, 91% say religion is important, and we had an IQ of 81 (now 94 and 60% literacy rate of an 180 million popualtion).



I am not saying that religion is the problem, I am putting forth that
even with religion you can be entirely smart. Why? Because Pakistan in
1990 had a literacy rate of just 40%, and still managed to have an IQ of
81 while 91% of people said religion was important. This is something
for you to ponder on.
