Really man, I wanna see you type it out because I know it's what you think.
"I, (state your name), have a more logical mind because I have an objective opinion."
Nobody has an objective opinion. But don't you think the guy whose belief system isn't tied up in the inerrant, divine perfection of something might be a little better equipped to critically evaluate it? We've all seen the mental gymnastics theists use to justify the bullshit things that pop up in all sorts of religious books.
Nobody has an objective opinion, but any level of objectivity is impossible when you fully believe that the safety of your immortal soul is contingent on obeying the edicts of a book.
