The Dunning-Kruger Effect and Religious Belief

The first guy feels just a little bit uneasy, thinking about the times the he became over confident about his own knowledge.
The second guy doesn't critically self examine himself at all, and immediately diagnoses the first guy with Dunning Kruger.

This is important!

Part of overrating one's own intelligence is assuming that only one's opponents are capable of overrating their intelligence.
