I might as well say

"Oh yeah I knew a random guy once of non-specific origin who wasn't religious, and he owns a hat. So there. Also I know a girl who IS religious, and she has both a face and also feet."

No, because you see, it wasn't a random comment.

It was a response to LT bringing the prospect of level of intelligence/education having a bearing on whether someone may be a believer or not. He made a point about there possibly being less believers in a group of people with higher intelligence. I was providing experiences of my own that show a counter argument to that.

But, by all means, take posts in a 20 page thread individually and see them as random and adding nothing and not in the context of the discussion continuing in a... thread.

You think I entered this thread and just decided "Oh, I'll make a random observation about a council estate"? In that case go back and read again.

What you WERE, in fact, suggesting was that you have anecdotal evidence that "uneducated scheme folks" are often non-religious

Where, exactly, did I say my anecdotal evidence proved LT wrong or even was evidence that proved anything about a general population of people? I didn't.
