Easily. Believing in something unsupported and improbable simply because you want it to be true is irrational and does stand against progress. It is wishful thinking. I still maintain that religion is the greatest insult to human intelligence. Fools fall so easily to their imagination, it's embarrassing just to watch. Seeing fellow human beings grovelling on the floor to their imaginary friend, on their knees talking to their invisible friend in the sky. It's humiliating. You probably don't see it, but I do.

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.
