1. Neither
2. Religion
3. Physical
4. Neither

6. Neither
Love or Hate
Love. Humans are driven to find a mate and love may also feature hate.
Religion or Government
Government these days. Religion is not mandatory.
Intellectual or Physical
Intellectual. More things, even physical, can be done while using brain.
A teacher in primary school provided this illustation: "A very strong and buff man could be taken down by a puny man with a scalpel who knows where to cut".
Man or Woman
Woman. Words of one lecturer (probably taken from some source): "A woman is a complete being whereas a man needs a woman to be complete". I quite like this quote. “Nothing is so necessary for a young man as the company of intelligent women.†– Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace. Etc., etc.
Statistics or Superstition
Statistics in general, but it depends on the situation as well as the beholder. It doesn't bear much meaning that more people die while being mounted by cows than eaten by bears, while facing a bear. One can be convinced by the statistics, other by superstition.
Money or Sex
Money can be a way to get sex and sex can be a way to get money. I'd say these things are incomparable. Better questions could be money or power, sex or power. So, power over money and over sex if we are willing to take a quote from NBC‘s House of Cards for granted: "Everything is about sex, except for sex. Sex is about power." – Francis Underwood; HoC

What you give power to, has power over you.
Nice...
Welcome back Raven :D Already with the threads that make you think... On an individual scale and in specific examples, either choice can "hold more power" than the other. But generally speaking I would say
Love - it unites and inspires people in ways hatred can't.
Government - not everybody is spiritual, but almost everyone understands laws and punishment in this life/realm. Historically speaking, they intermingled a lot, but usually it was the government using religion to get more power over people. So many leaders, even in the ancient world, played the "descendent from the gods" card, and then the whole "divine power" of the kings thing. Also, the Anglican Church is another good example of the power of government over religion.
Intellectual - well, our minds is the main thing we have over other animals and we did a pretty good job overall. That's not to say there aren't situations when anyone would exchange their wits for better physical abilities though.
Man - just to hear the feminists gasp :D Imo, a lot of female power in the world has still to reach its full potential.
Statistics - well, it's taught in schools as opposed to superstitions. It's a common language all over the world these days, as opposed to beliefs.
Money - However a lot of people pay money for sex and a lot give sex for money XD It depends on the amount of money though, ofc a lot of money can give you all the sex you like, plus a lot of influence in a whole bunch of areas too.
Love- belief that hate is born from love.
Religion- things are done in the name of 'God' and if that includes Cult in the definition people will do almost anything for an idea of what they believe?
Intellect- doesn't mean you can't be physically strong?
Woman- I've only ever lived as a woman and I like holding and playing with my boobs. Periods suck tho.
Stats- fosho facts FTW
Money- money can't buy happiness but it sure does help get something near to it. Also:
