To be a real spiritual person one need not belong to any religion.

Belief in God is inversely proportional to IQ. Higher the IQ - lower faith in god....so while intelligent people might have less morality as you define it, people believing in god tend to be not so bright.

Albert Einstein believed in God. Infact he used to read BhagavatGits.

Statistics and correlation are pointers which only tend to give prediction - just as it does not prove that athiests are smart people. Your question definitely indicates a lack of knowledge of statistics if not an indication of you being dumb.

Man is free either to beleive in God or Not..it doesnt bother anyone as long as he spreads goodness...but sadly again goodness is another quality of God..sadly the atheist doesnt even acknowledge the same..does it bother..inversely proportional statement holds no water..as majority of the most intelligent people on earth are the Jews and most of them beleive in God..

well said..multiplicity of Gods means the same..No God..hence utter confusion and full materialism..but then u have an hypocrite people..a false sense of nationalism..false sense of national pride..each one for himself..so like crabs each one sits of the other..no unity save back biting and massive corruption..no accountability no responsibility..different methods..no direction..only internal struggle no acheivement..total disllusionment..no identity..a race devoid of spine..spineless wonders...this sums our nation
