I love Occam's Razer, religion doesn't last long against it.
Another good example:
You saw a dark/shady object move through the forest in the distance.
Your assumptions:
*It was a ghost.
*It was a monster running from something.
*It was Jesus running from the Romans
*It was a giant butterly.
Now for the two simplest explanations:
*It was a dark/shady object. You have no evidence to assume it was anything other than a dark/shady object.
*You were hallucinating.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
