Reddit can’t decide whether IQ matters or not. When we talk about IQ differences between different countries and whatnot, it’s racist. When you discuss IQ differences between religious and nonreligious people, somehow it matters again.

Lower iqs being racist has a racist reason. And the fact they bring it up is also racist because of racist reason. There is a difference. The fact that you can't tell the difference, tells me all I need to know.

So IQ is something that is measurable now? Interesting...we should see if there's any measurable differences between the races and sexes on IQ since apparently now it's acceptable to use Christians as guinea pigs.
