Atheists, smarter than theists?

[Mister Agenda]

I don't know about you, but I certainly feel as though I have an edge in a lot of situations. Perhaps not smarter, given the definition is relative.

For example; if forced to fight to the death with a true believer (whom isn't a Muslim) what reason does he have to want to win.

Also what need has a Muslim of virgins in heaven? Can they have children up there? What do Muslim women get?

I know a more scholarly interpretation is that virgins was mistranslated from white raisins or something.......... that aside though.

I have a feeling that it's more of a case of blind spots than raw difference in IQ. I know some studies have indicated such a difference, but it's not that significant in my opinion, and only an average: it shoudln't be that hard to find a theist smarter than a given atheist. However, it doesn't matter how smart they (or we) are if they are trying to reason us into of something that isn't based on reason.
