It is based on a serious and multi-year investigation of American culture which has involved traveling to various places, talking to a lot of different people, thinking critically about my whole life and all the people I have encountered, being exposed to various statistics and meditating on common knowledge, such as the prevalence of atheism and drug use among young people in higher ed.
I understand there are some atheists that are well adjusted 47 year olds who don't drink or party and whose atheism is purely a result of reading and understand a lot of books about religion (whether they understood them fully, I do not think they did). I apologize for including them in my view of atheism.
I still believe firmly that the atheist stereotype of a sort of cocky, arrogant 20 something who goes out to bars and clubs and has sex with his girlfriend (not wife) and tends to be politically liberal or leftist and has an above average but not genius IQ is basically accurate.
The people with really high IQ's tend more towards agnosticism than atheism (or Christianity or Judaism).
