How do you explain religious people being comfortable with being correlated with the dregs of society by studies?

I had an argument with a christian online who told me that atheists are wrong and very silly to hold the view that God doesnt exist. In reply, I showed him a list of studies that associates religion/christianity with many wrong and negative things;

Christianity/religion has a negative correlation with intelligence;

Christianity/Religion positively associated with racism;

Christianity/Religion helps criminals to justify their crimes
http://www.slate.com/blogs/crime/2013/03/08/faith_based_prison_programs_new_study_suggests_religion_may_help_criminals.html




There are more studies that confirm or at least come to similar conclusions with the three that I have put forward.




So, my fellow atheists, how do you think religious people/christians explain being comfortable with the fact that they are linked with racists, the unintelligent and the criminal since they are more likely to be religious/christian

@logicboy,concerning the intelligence issue,do not forget this quote:Religions are like fireflies,they require darkness(senselessness and foolishness) in order to shine!!! 1.The bible describes a rainbow as a semi-circle,yet it is a full circle. 2.The bible says that the stars were created to give light to us on earth and yet 99 percent of them are invisible to the naked eye!!! 3.The bible tells us to eat all the green plants and yet alot of them are poisonous. IT IS A FOOLISH BOOK WITH FOOLISH INSTRUCTIONS FOR FOOLISH PEOPLE!!!

Address the op, mr. Butthurt

No more greetings mr strikly?

That's what nairaland can do to you. It can turn a loving person into a heartless soul. An intelligent woman into a harlot. Nairaland is not for the weak minded.

Sorry.
