WHAT MAKES US HUMAN?

Interestingly, as humans, if our average IQ score was 40 points less we wouldn't know to believe in a God.
If our collective average IQ score was 40 points higher we would know not to believe in a God.
Humans are right there in that sweet spot to believe in fairy tales and religious deities.

That disturbs me. I haven’t really thought about intelligence as being a bench mark for humanity directly but some of the terms I’ve used (and/or seen) have been discernment, self awareness etc.

Point being I feel guilty for perhaps thinking that very stupid people are slightly less human (because some of the characteristics I’m considering require a degree of intelligence). Where does that leave a non verbal autistic person for example? 

Must ponder that.
