Why do people deny that IQ matters in daily life?

Why do people deny that IQ matters in daily life?

Fuck talking about IQ for the 10^10th time. I'm curious why Vietnam is so high on this graph.

Because there a high fraction of it's population is atheist. Next question

Why do people deny that chocolate consumption matters in science?

Why didn't they mark the countries on the left side tho?

It matters but except you are on the margins >140 the impact can be really subtle.

Because there isn't a plausible causal mechanism proposed, user, unlike with IQ. Don't you feel silly for making such a foolish statement now?

So I did some quick research and the reason is retarded. Whoever gathered the data determined that the local religion followed by 45.2% of the people is atheism when it clearly is not. Kinda seems like a type of ancestor worship combined with many minor deities.
They also found that 29.6% of people identify as atheist in the true sense of the word.

Cuba and Vietnam ex communist countries, atheism was enforced. Also the highest country on the graph is Singapore and a reason why that could be an outlier is that its very authoritarian compared to similar countries.
