Any reason which causes disbelief would be intellectual dishonesty.

Reason does not cause disbelief. Such claims are ridiculous.

And you don't justify your disbelief, rudeness and hate with claims of being reasonable.

Does a reasonable person disbelieve in gravity?

Do you believe in the divinity of Krishna?

Pointless questions also don't justify disbelief.

I believe in a creator of existence. All gods other than the creator, manmade or not, I do not want to follow.

It does, especially when your dangling from a cliff.

1. I disbelieve in Santa Claus, unicorns, leprechauns and gremlins for the reason that there is no good evidence for their existence.  Intellectual dishonesty would be to believe in these in spite of the lack of evidence.

2.  Reasoned disbelief is the foundation of human progress.  Claims to the contrary are ridiculous.

3.  Yes I do.  So take THAT, Mister Poopy Pants.

I asked if you believe in the divinity of Krishna.

I thought I had, but I'll have another go.

Reasoned disbelief is the rejection of a proposition when there is neither convincing evidence nor compelling arguments to support the proposition.  Let's do Bigfoot as an example.  I disbelieve in Bigfoot because the evidence for Bigfoot simply isn't there - no bodies, no bones, no adolescents, no scat, no hair, no nothing.  Believers use all manner of specious arguments to explain away this (for them) disturbing lack of evidence: Bigfeet are too smart to get caught; Bigfeet are hyperdimensional beings; Bigfeet are aliens; and so on.  Given the non-existence of evidence and the non-compelling nature of the explanations, I make the reasoned choice to disbelieve that Bigfeet exist.

To be fair, there is also 'unreasoned disbelief'.  Things like, 'I don't believe in Bigfeet because I'VE never seen one' or 'My spirit animal told be not to believe in Bigfeet.' 

Hope this helps.

Why do you think reasoned disbelief for Bigfoot is the same as for the creator?

When it comes to the creator there is no reasoned disbelief.
