It wasn’t just one’s political beliefs and their religious beliefs that this study said were an indicator of intelligence. Oh, but it gets even better! (paragraph-break mine)

“Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs.

This applied also to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. The findings will be published in the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly. [...]

“The reasoning is that sexual exclusivity in men, liberalism and atheism all go against what would be expected given humans’ evolutionary past. In other words, none of these traits would have benefited our early human ancestors, but higher intelligence may be associated with them.”

Yes, it gets even more fun. Straight, conservsative men who believe in God are teh estupiod – and our eventual interstellar visitors won’t be the long hoped-for hot lesbian Amazon chicks, but instead the Village People.
