relationship between religious beliefs and rationality (general intelligence).
At the outset, using worldwide data we measure the impact of changes in average
intelligence on the prevalence of religious disbelievers. Next, we focus on the
United States (U.S.). We measure such an impact both at the mean and at
different quantiles of the conditional distribution of the proportion of
religious disbelievers using data on all fifty U.S. states. The results show
that the strength of the net effect of intelligence on religious disbelief is
strictly increasing, i.e., it increases with average intelligence. This pattern
is different from that found using worldwide data in which the effect peaks and
then weakens. We also show that in the U.S. the effect is stronger outside what
we call the "Extended Bible Belt". Our results thus point to the
existence of a "hurdle effect" that only takes place the U.S. most
religious area. In that area, the effect of average intelligence on the
prevalence of religious disbelievers, albeit positive, loses strength above the
conditional median, i.e., where there already are more atheists. Such a loss in
strength above the conditional median does not happen in the remainder of the
country.<b> </b></span></font><strong style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial"></span></strong></p></div>
