Where in the linked article does it say that atheism correlates with IQ past 140? I cannot find this.
That study just says that the most prestigious scientists are even more atheistic than normal scientists. I think for other reasons that the most prestigious scientists have higher average IQ than normal scientists, a large fraction of them higher than 140.
You should probably edit your post then, because it currently suggests an IQ-atheism correlation that just isn't supported by the cited article.
I don't think this will satisfy you or the people who upvoted your comment, but by way of explanation...
The original post opened with a large section emphasizing that this was a quick and dirty analysis, because writing more careful analyses like When Will AI Be Created takes a long time. The whole point was for me to zoom through some considerations without many links or sources or anything. I ended up cutting that part of the post based on feedback.
Anyway, when I was writing and I got to the bit about there being some evidence of atheism increasing after IQ 140, I knew a quick way to link to some of my evidence for that, but to explain all my reasons for thinking so would take many hours, especially the part of tracking down the sources. So I decided providing some of my evidence was better than providing none of my evidence.
Providing none of my evidence is what I did for most of my claims, but you seem to only be complaining about one of the few claims for which I decided to provide some evidence. Oh well.
