The following text is quoted directly from www.about.com .

Most studies show a strong correlation between education and atheism: the more education a person has, the less religious they become and even less theistic. Some religious theists, seeking a way to attack atheism, try to use this against atheists by claiming that atheists’ intelligence is a reason for their disbelief not because they really do know more, but because they are too arrogant. Atheists, according to this myth, don’t want to admit the existence of a god smarter than they are.

I know a lot of incredibly smart people. When I think about this quote 3 extremely intelligent people come to mind.  They are in fact the 3 smartest people that I know.  Coincidentally, all of them are atheist/non-believers/agnostics.

Is this a mere coincidence or a fact of life?
