I don't understand your comment, why do you question the validity of the source data?
This are very smart people, so my expectation was to see a much higher percent of atheists in this community.
(BTW: Why can't I turn my links to a clickable links? )

That's why.
Hi all,
I was very surprised to discover that only 10% of the Nobel prize winners are atheist:

4. https://www.johnlennox.org/resources/145/how-many-nobel-prize-winners
This info contradicts everything I've heard before, that there is a strong negative correlation between intelligence and religiosity.
For example:

How do you explain this?
