I don't think it's a problem since neither is an atheist site.

For what it's worth, these two links provide no such evidence. Is this what this atheist website said "proved" this negative correlation?

the article on dawkins website went more in depth about the university of duke study, but Again Posting someting from dawkins site is a big no-no apparently, I mean I could ask one of the mods first, which is probably what I'll do since neither article really goes in as deep and awkins article does

Could you post the link to me via 'pm' please, Murray? It'll save me rummaging through Dawkins' site.

David Hayward talks about 'minority groups', whether religious or irreligious - he actually stresses the point that his study's findings are not just confined to religious groups. Interesting that he labelled Protestants a "minority group". Sounds like much ado about nothing really.

so pretty much all these articles on dawkins website and others are just picking and choosing parts of this mans research to suit their own point of view?

Never!

Then again, although the study was not confined to religous folk alone, It still did show that our brains "shrik" I suppose.
