Re: the religious math quiz.

I got the correct (analytical) answers and I am quite religious, so I break the model.

I think the conclusion assumes too much. At best, it shows a correlation between education in mathematics/analysis and Western atheist beliefs. There are any number of possible explanations for it besides their psychobabble about intuition (which I frankly don't believe is not a tongue-in-cheek way of saying that believers are stupid).

ETA: I would also expect results to vary based on the religion, and on the place of that religion within the culture of the respondent.
