Hmm, interesting. If it's true, then it may merely be because most people are religious (to some degree) and also that most people are quite stupid when compared with the very intelligent. We could note that heterosexuals are not necessarily two-legged, but most two-legged people are heterosexuals. That example brings out the lack of logical connection. The statement is true merely because most people have two legs and also most people are heterosexual.

The statement you analyzed is not based on logic, it is based on evidence. There may be theories explaining it.

Finding it illogical is illogical, when the evidence is clear. You are saying "The statement can't be true because logic does not support it." If you think of it, logic also does not support heterosexuals are not necessarily two-legged, but most two-legged people are heterosexuals. You drew a VERY GOOD analytical connection: you equated one illogical statement with another illogical statement. However, uttering illogical statements to disprove an empirical finding is itself illogical.

On the contrary, the statement is (as far as I know) true, just as it is written. Religious people are not necessarily stupid - but most stupid people are religious. This may well be a true empirical finding.

However, this observation alone - although true (let's grant, for sake of argument) - may not entail any interesting correlation between stupidity and religiosity.

The lack of correlation is shown by the parallel example of heterosexuality and two-leggedness. Again, empirically, we can see that most two-legged people are heterosexual. This is quite probably a true statement. But there is no interesting correlation between having two legs and being het.

You're right about that. My point alone is that it is the status quo. That's where my point ends. I admit WE DON'T KNOW if this is a caused statistic, or a random one.
