Consider this: Name a group that is stupid (or any other sort of adjective you would choose as a form of derision; for example, let's substitute 'deluded' here since no one is necessarily prohibited from recovering from being deluded) SOLELY BECAUSE OF THAT GROUP'S IDENTIFYING CHARACTERISTIC.
For example, substitute any ethnic group there. You'd be labeled a bigot for making a racist statement. No one's genetic makeup has any bearing on their intellect. But someone's indoctrination-based religious beliefs? That knows no color barrier, no age limit, and yet still binds them all with one inescapable commonality: Delusion.
So thanks for revealing your inability to make a fine distinction about something of this sort. Yes, it's nuanced, but it's consistent and makes sense in this context. But then that's critical thinking, and well, we could make a blanket statement about that and religious belief too, so...
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
