From personal experience, I have found the Christians, Jews, and Moslems to be much more intelligent than the self-proclaimed Atheists I have met (if you compare them to simply those who simply do not believe, I would say they are both equally as intelligent). But I met most of those religious folk at top-rated universities so that might just be the exception (never met a believer that denied evolution at least as far as I am aware)....I don't hang around Fundamentalists and may have only met a few in my life.
From what I have seen from the Atheists is they are quite stubborn to reason or logic. They basically repeat the same few fallacies they read off some blog, which do not hold up to academic scrutiny at the middle school level. As a Christian, I actually want them to be confrontational in this manner because they are shooting themselves in the foot. But these Atheists are just the opposite side of Christian Fundamentalism....neither group is indicative of the overall population, but both are seen as the stereotype.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
