An atheist is one without belief in a god (i.e higher power/deity). Anything else is up for debate. Buddhists have certain beliefs such as reincarnation and such (I don't that much about it) but essentially, they are atheists. Spiritual beliefs but godless all the same.
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.
