Religiosity, homophobia and intelligence

Recently, a survey conducted by NTU found that "'intrinsic religiosity' - viewing religion as the primary driving force in life - was the strongest predictor of anti-gay sentiment here. "

Ah.... a correlation between religiosity and homophobia is established. Nothing suprising at all judging by the amount of bible verses quoted by proponents of S377A in the ST forum discussion board.

I've also frequently heard that scientists are usually non-religious. Could there be a link between IQ, religiousity and homophobia?

Guess what? In a study titled "Religiousness, Spirituality, and IQ: Are They Linked?", it was found that

".....religious participants did have significantly lower QSAT scores than members of the other three relationship-to-God categories (spiritual, agnostic, and atheist). This result suggests that religious individuals are somewhat lower in quantitative ability, perhaps suggesting less rigor in certain kinds of reasoning. This pattern did not extend to the other relationship-to-God categories, suggesting that there is something special about the people who identified themselves as religious. "

Haha! I knew it. Intuition does work sometimes!
