I don’t claim to be smarter than anyone (except Gerald).
But there are tens of thousands of gods worshipped around the world, only a few of which share the traits claimed for the Christian deity (and, of course, remembering that allah is technically the same god that Christians worship).
People believe in gods for many different reasons.
Are they stupid? Not always.
Are they gullible? Not always.
Hell, one of the smartest people I’ve ever encountered was a Muslim (as was one of the most ignorant).
And I don’t play the numbers game because many of those billions don’t worship the same god.
