Most atheists I know got there through skeptical thought. That's not necessarily a sign of intelligence. Rationalization often requires intelligence. No doubt Descartes was intelligent. So was Newton. Both were Christian. But, and here's was interests me, when they applied skeptical thought they made advances. When they attempted to explain beliefs in god they didn't. Methods matter.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
