Sure - we CAN believe in stupid things. Christians and other religious dumbasses HAVE TO believe in stupid things, as atheism doesn't come bundled with cosmological, or political beliefs. As with most things in the real world - it's all about the probabilities. Christians have 100% chance of believing in something stupid. Atheists have at least a bit smaller chance of that.
