LSE Professor Satoshi Kanazawa has a study on it:

Intelligence doesn't necessarily imply rationality either.
I'm not saying I don't find religious beliefs to be entirely silly, but I don't call the people who have them silly either.
Summer, what does that have to do with my point? My point was proving your assessment wrong. You mentioned intelligence, I remembered a study so I linked it, I said nothing about rationality. Although there is definately a case for atheists being more rational too.
Chad, you can say fuck you all you want, I'm fine with it.
Genkaus, you have a good point and I agree.
