This surprising simple test demonstrates that liberals and atheists lack the intellectual acuity of conservatives.


Print out the list below. At the end of every line write a Y for yes or an N for no.


Liberals and atheists are more likely to accept the claim:


  1. That man's activities are causing the earth to warm catastrophically  ___
  2. That society should assume that there are no significant differences between boys and girls, and men and women ___
  3. That criminals are society's victims ___
  4. That the Soviet Union was a noble experiment ___
  5. That Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez are wise and able leaders ___
  6. That women rarely make false rape allegations ___
  7. That wind and solar power can provide our energy needs ___
  8. That government bureaucrats and trial lawyers are the most important parts of a health-care system ___
  9. That increasing the minimum wage will not increase unemployment ___
  10. That consensual homosexual acts are not a choice ___
  11. That we don't need a strong military because if we don't present a threat, other nations  won't attempt to harm us ___
  12. That guns, not their users, kill ___
  13. That discriminating based on race is being against racial discrimination ___
  14. That the National Socialist Party was not socialist ___
  15. That being unable to replace a poorly performing teacher is good for education ___
  16. That a child in the womb is not a human being ___


Now, count the Ys and Ns. Put the letter that appeared the most at the end of this sentence: Are liberals and atheists mentally less capable than conservatives? 


Simple, yet conclusive.


Something else to consider--the greatest minds of the 20th century were not atheists. Think of astrophysicist Georges Lemaître or quantum physics founder Max Planck or mathematician Kurt Godel. Even Einstein, who was a bit of a liberal, was not an atheist.


As Francis Bacon, who is usually considered the founder of modern science, wrote: It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
