I think that atheism is a more rational and intellitent way to view the world, however i do not think that being religious makes you stupid. Religion is something that is afflicted on you while you are growing up and it becomes kind of the same as brainwashing, but i do think atheists are more intelligent because they view the world in a realistic and non-fiction way

No intelligent, well informed person can be anything but an atheist.

>>671139379
This. Intelligence is linked with reason and understanding. Reason suggests that all the evidence from critical study points towards there not being a divine being that created all the universe. Science had demonstrated time and again that the universe was created in a big bang event. What happened before that and the cause we do not fully understand yet. The same as ancient people did not understand the world was round and orbited the sun. We will get there one day but it won't be because we blindly believed in a book written by men who used it to subjugate and control.

Religious beliefs (when believed by conscious choice and not blind faith) hold no bearings on the intelligence of another person

Most 'I'm super smart atheist' are just edgy faggots trying to stand out or be identified by something that they deem important and more than ordinary.

This is a valid argument. Since atheism is a lack of theistic belief, it is the default state for children who have yet to be indoctrinated. So the average atheist is somewhere between a baby with an undeveloped brain and a biology professor.

Not one intelligent person believes in the Bible, not even priests. But..... that has nothing to do with the existence of God.

There's many points to being non-religious and creation isn't the only one.
Not every atheist has 100% certainty or belief in the big bang (or in any other specific thing).

The best thing about the critical thinking that leads most to atheism is also the worst. They all see the world in their own way and that can drive people apart.

The ONE thing religion can have is that it can drive people together and keep them calm and controlled under one umbrella of, most likely, lies. Sadly (or not) that use for religion is being surpassed by the "global society with global rules" we get closer to by the day.

A world where all "modern" religions go the way of the "haha clearly fake fairy tale stuff" (think Norse, Greek, pre-Christian Roman, Egyptian, etc) may be just a few hundred years away.

"Agnostics" are atheists that don't want to offend anyone. Being an atheist litterally means that you do not believe in God. Nothing more, nothing less.

>>671139064
No. There are tons of stupid atheists and tons of brilliant theists, just like there are tons of brilliant atheists and tons of stupid theists. Historically most people that made important scientific discoveries believed in some sort of deity.

Religion, or lack of religion, is a core human trait. Some people prefer to believe in a higher power, some people refuse to believe in such a thing. But it has nothing to do with your intelligence. The only thing it really says about a person is how they prefer to cope with existential issues.

I don't see why everyone sees Christians are retards that believe in creation. Catholics SPECIFICALLY say that the Bible is symbolic and support theories like evolution. I believe that something had to make the big bang, what whatever that is, is God, not the other way around. I don't know why, I don't think being gay is a sin, I don't know if Jesus fucking turned water into wine, but I do believe that something powerful had to have made the universe to begin with. Does that thing love us unconditionally? Maybe. Did it's incarnation die for our sins? Maybe. But I wouldn't completely rule out the idea of some power or force that began the universe THROUGH the big bang, and call people unintelligent for thinking that. It's not so much the belief in God, but HOW that belief is portrayed that makes theists get so much hate, I think.

I'm an agnostic too. Theism and atheism for a lot of people is more about belief as an emotion than knowledge. Not for fundamentalist Christians or ISIS or charismatic churches, but for the regular people who were raised theist, a lot of that has more to do with internal peace than how they make decisions. Theistic and atheistic religions usually don't come with systems of ethics beyond orienting your actions with your church and/or polity; they usually conform to whatever is locally popular.

Atheism isn't really about being strictly logical. It's more that some people actually derive comfort from a belief that there is no God or Creator. When it comes to questions that we have no answers to, the agnostics choose not to let the question distract them. For some people, these thoughts cause them so much stress that it makes more logical sense to create an answer so they can get along with their lives, than to dwell in the purist rationalism of vulgar agnosticism.

Being an atheist doesn't make you more intelligent. But intelligent people tend to end up in this trash bin, due to their rejection of the emotional parts of life where they have been dissatisfied too many times to believe in a higher power, just because they are blind to see what higher purpose everything they've experienced had.

If you tell the Guy at the pizza place you don't know if you want pinapple or not he won't put pinapple on it. Not knowing if you want something is different from wanting it

If you're not purpousfully ignorant then you should at least know the definitions of what you're talking about. My atheist friend

You're cute.

The pineapple is just another topping. Cheese is the default. Atheism is cheese pizza. You can be indifferent to toppings or dislike them. It doesn't matter. But in the end of the day you're eating a cheese pizza and neither of us believe in gods so we're atheists.

Most people are seeing this wrong, being an atheist gives you some IQ points. This does NOT mean intelligent people are to become atheist instantly or at some point.

How do they reproduce when they all have dicks?

You seek knowledge and answered to mysterys that believers relate to god without any exploration
So ya more intellegant

They don't say it explicitly, but they do believe in a good/evil dichotomy and by praying for you for whatever reason, they are placing you into the evil category.

It's mostly the attitude that they have control over your life via their prayers that bothers me.

Does being an obsessive shitposter who can't change the subject mean you're stupid?

MODSSSSSS!!

I AM ignorant, but not purposefully.
If the answers were in reach, I would go out and find them, but the answers to the questions I have about the creation of the universe are out of my hands. I have more important things to do with my life than get a degree in theoretical physics, like make car payments and pay rent.

>>671144790
and? he himself is unwanted still

>>671139064
no.
Being more intelligent makes you an atheist!

>>671145251
If somebody wants him in the thread, then how can he be unwanted? We are all unwanted until somebody wants us. It is the default position, much like atheism.
