Do you have a religion if so would you mind sharing?
I noticed a trend in my school. The one's labeled as "nerds" are typically atheist. Just wanted to see if that was the case here as well.
Sorry if a thread like this has already been made.

Lutheran/non-denominational Christian. I actually converted from agnosticism after science camp last year.

LDS. Actually, pretty much everyone at my school is LDS. (public school, that is)

I would say nerds have a higher incidence of being atheists, but not all or mostly. Probably because nerds almost by definition do not follow social pressures, and in most of America that means being some moderate flavor of Christianity. Nerds probably have higher incidences of being a more unusual or stronger form of Christianity as well.

I would like to say that most of the nerds at my college are not atheists. Many of them, however, tend to consider themselves either non-denominational Christian, agnostic, or follow a different religion. One of my best friends comes from a traditionally Christian family but has herself converted to Shintoism. Because of this, I'd also be more inclined to follow the previous statement that many nerds are more likely to think for themselves, try new things, and choose their own way, which can lead them to different beliefs than the majority.

Ditto. For the public school I once attended and the university I currently attend.

Non-denominational Christian. It's what my family has always been raised to be, and while I believe it really passively (as in, the belief of the existence of the one god, and that god being the Christian god) I don't follow any of it's rules simply because they are written in the Bible, and I do not read the Bible I was given by my grandmother.

Atheist, as the avatar probably suggests.

Also LDS. My theory is that the religion encourages academics and education, and therefore has a higher output of academically inclined members than many other churches.

My theory (and this has been statistically proven) is that within higher education, you see many more atheists then elsewhere

I just can't stand the lack of concrete evidence that comes with religion. Even though I believe it's impossible to know for sure that any kind of deity exists, not knowing still makes me extremely uncomfortable.

Militant agnostic.

I created a new religion.

I must admit, ever since it was listed as an option on the Australian Census, I've been tempted to say "Jedi". Really though, many of the world's religions have philosophies which I agree with.

Atheist.
Unlike some that I know, though, I don't claim to be able to disprove the existence of God. I don't know that he doesn't exist, I just think it's extremely unlikely. I believe in God in the same weary way as the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
