I'm an agnostic atheist, which means I don't know/cannot know whether a god exists or not and so I make no claim on the matter while atheist seeing as I don't believe that there is a god or gods.

Atheism means without theism. Without belief in god. That's it.
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.
