I know of wise people who are also staunchly religious. Dusty old texts can still contain pearls of valuable wisdom.
However, said people are also the sort who refrain from persecuting other people for having benign yet different beliefs...

Zealous folk are not people I would call smart in regards to civilized evolution. Quite the opposite.

Yes. I do.

Definitely smarter than any broke edgelord atheist who try to justify their brokeness because society doesn't agree with them

Yes, I know maybe a dozen or so.

To be fair, Im not sure what you mean by super smart. I wont say geniuses because I dont know any. Lets just say educated at the highest levels, seem to be well informed about domestic and international issues and very accomplished in their respective fields, whether its military, government or private related. They are devoutly religious and not lying about it, as far as I can tell. I believe they are generally good people, but I disagree with their reliance on faith.

Nope, never met any that Im aware of. Then again, maybe they were so smart that they knew they should hide it, like not telling people you won the lottery.

A childhood friend (his family are devout Christians and all the siblings are intelligent/accomplished). Last time I saw him he was teaching physics at our university.

Yes, Im sure we all know several. Like I said, not sure what super smart would include, but I would agree that becoming a medical doctor looks difficult. Of course it doesnt mean theyd automatically be smart in other areas. The ones I know seem to be very specialized and narrow in their knowledge of the rest of the world.

Becoming a Doctor takes money and putting in the work.

Why would it take money, and not smarts, to become a doctor there?

On topic, one of my grandfather's friends (who's since passed away) was religious and he won a Nobel Prize in physics

Education does not equate to intelligence. The only things an education can be used to measure are patience and perseverance. It's a gauge for how willing you are to do meaningless busy work.

So how else would you quantify intelligence for the purposes of this topic?

Not sure, honestly. But education definitely isn't it. Education has never been a good measure of intelligence.

Definitely smarter than any broke edgelord atheist who try to justify their brokeness because society doesn't agree with them

I work under and alongside doctors and surgeons in my field

They are literally no smarter than normal people, they are just highly educated in one tiny fraction of a field. I hear them repeat the same dumb bullshit you'd hear in Walmart

Doctor worship leads to a lot of issues, ime. They refuse to admit they're wrong, people take bad advice from them all the time

I see your anecdote ("I know religious people who are literal doctors!") and raise. I got a service call from a surgeon who said one of his children's rooms was cold and the furnace wasn't getting heat to it. Lo and behold the register was closed in the room. The man paid me to walk in and open a register. I then had to proceed to show him how a heat register works, that the grille can be open or closed, as to avoid future frivolous calls for inane bullshit. I don't have much to say on religious zealots and their intelligence, but surgeons and doctors are very capable of being thick as a brick in matters outside their specialized field.

The three surgeons I most recently worked for:

- told a patient to do situps to lose belly fat
- told a patient running is bad for you
- did not know how to open a pdf
- yelled at a random person who does not work there for messing up scheduling
- could not figure out how to train their dog so they put it down
- one is obsessed with self help books but his personal life continues to be a disaster
- CONSTANTLY prescribe pills for things that can be solved in one day at a physical therapist

The list goes on... They're normal fucking people . The plastic surgeons are the worst -- vain, lying conmen

I dont know where this whole "religious people are dumb hyuck hyuck" thing started but i never bought into that. Seems like a copout for anti religion people.

you do not have to be smart to be a doctor lol

being educated/decorated in a stem field(s) doesn't mean you're automatically smart, either
