I'm sure your first thought would have been
"That never happened. You're just making it up."
And you think that because you KNOW that as an atheist, I'm probably not delusional. You give me the attribute of having a good head on my shoulders because of my atheism.
If an atheist told you that they sincerely believed some way out there insane crazy shit, more than likely you would tend to not believe them, instead believing that they are saying these outlandish things "to make a point"
You give us this attribute of being a group that thinks critically and is less likely to believe in bullshit.
If that's what you think of us, then how do you view other theists ?
I don't consider atheists as a group to be more or less delusional than theists. I consider them more likely to demand physical proof before they accept something as true. That can be good in some instances, but it can also hold them back from discovering spiritual truths. Of course, I would consider theists to be more open to other ways to discover truth than through natural methods. This is very general as everyone within a group is an individual.
