I know you didn't use those exact words but still.
As if all scientific advancement was made by atheists or something.
Don't be so quick to make the opinion of the masses your own. Especially such a biased opinion as that.

What I said was that a religious person is necessarily less intelligent than a non-religious person in at least one area(as well as in everything else that one area affects). Case in point, you seem to think that the world is divided between people of faith and nihilists, that idiotic statement is surely influenced by your "faith".
I was simply making a point, if passively, that nihilism is about the most willfully ignorant stance I have heard of as of yet.
Do you presume to gauge my intellect, by the conflation of a singular term on my part?
If your theory is that atheists or nonbelievers are more intelligent than believers as a default then surly you can affirm or back this claim with some sort of evidence. Or perhaps we could do a little research on the brightest minds in history. Maybe we could just talk about things (assuming you are a non believer) and come to an honest, unbiased conclusion that way.
Though my initial wording was poor; my claim stands; yours is unsupported conjecture.
Of course all this is merely opinion at this point without evidence or some sort of test.
Peace
Faith in selfless Unity for Good.
