Also, this is an excellent debate (split into 5 parts on YouTube) with Stephen Fry, Christopher Hitchens and others on whether the catholic church is a good thing. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNODi...layer_embedded

And do you really want to go down the pahh of naming famous athiests/religious people? - http://www.celebatheists.com/wiki/Main_Page
Not at all. I'm not here to defend the Catholic church. I'm not here to suggest that only religious people can be intelligent. I am here, however, to show that your claim that "lack of intelligence and belief in 'god' are directly linked" is patent nonsense.

No list of famous atheists will substantiate your claim, however only a very short list of intelligent religious people is enough to prove it wrong. And there I both rest my case and insist we both now drop it and return to discussing TV.

If you want to explore the issue of intelligence and religious belief any further, by all means start a new thread about it.
