Indeed. At least where I am, ISTM that the main factor in determining whether one is a theist is where and when their parents grew up. (And I suspect that once you control for that, the oft-mentioned correlation between atheism and high IQ would be much weaker.) And the fact that theists are more likely to be anthropogenic global warming sceptics is likely mediated by political affiliations—right-wingers are more likely both to be theists and to be AGW sceptics—and maybe it would disappear once you control for position on the Political Compass.
