Some atheists have long adopted the smug view that religious belief is a product of ignorance, while atheism is the default position of the educated.  Well, according to a recent study, this is not so: "Time to accept that atheism, not god, is odd".

Indeed, some of the data indicates quite the opposite, but the nuanced nature of the study’s results defies a simple explanation.  Two factors, however, seemed clear enough: first, ethnic background plays an important role in determining one’s beliefs on the God question; and, second, that unbelief is unnatural.
