It’s the definition of irrationality, plenty of stupid people are rational, plenty of smart people are irrational, religious people are not stupid, neither is religion stupid, religion is a series of irrational beliefs that have captivated some of the brightest minds for thousands of years. The mistake atheist often make is not truly understanding religious belief.
Bullshit!
You claim that "religious people are not stupid". There are other words, but stupid accurately describes the Pentecostal preachers that take up venomous snakes for the sake of Mark 16: 17-18. Herpetologists may handle venomous snakes, but take the proper precautions despite the assurance from the book of Mark.
