Nope atheism is based on lack of faith not rationalism.
Atheism is lack of faith in a creator-god being. This is based on rational thinking.
Ipso facto atheism is based on rationalism & theism is based on voodoo magic... oops, I mean faith.

The problem hammy is with people like you, you have your own understanding of the words you use and more often than not you will stretch the meaning of a word to fit a narrative rather than seek out the proper word that describes what you are trying to describe.
When I said intelligence is a measure of indoctrination, may at first seem like a stretch until you actually look at the definition, and as I explained in my first post. the measure of knowledge is judged by region's "smart class". They decide what is valid and what is not. they determine how one is to be educated and what they are taught. as Intelligence does not transfer from region to region.
Some absolutes do as with mathematics but everything else can be trivialized. Why because the accumulation of the wrong knowledge or the applications of the wrong skills (as view by this soceity)can quickly be deemed as unintelligent behavior. while in another society those skills and knowledge can be the corner stone standard.
For example look at the divide between religion and science. People who worship and up hold 'science' as their live standard poo-poo on those who spent 20+ years studying several different languages, cultures, and even architecture than the 'intelligent among the religious can be referred to as someone who has no intelligent credibility just because they do not kneel at the alter/faith in science as the fanatical science groupies do. So how can someone with 20 of gathering knoweledge and applying said knowledge in a cohesive way be deem foolish? Because they do not meet the indoctrinated measure set fourth by pop culture.
In short if what you said is true then I could never honestly be call an idiot. but we all know that is the favored panic stop button most of you turn to when you are unable to refute a point I am making. and to a degree (That I do not subscribe wholy to your faith in all science) by this measure you are correct.
You're a fucking moron in any culture.
