For some "goddidit" is a good enough answer for anything. To me it's a quick and lazy way to answer something.
I'll go for science over religion any day. At least science gives you data to work with. Something to examine and test yourself. Religion just says "god did it" and "don't question it or go to hell". "Must have faith or your in denial" or "your evil". For me, if you haven't any evidence, no data and nothing to examine then you've got nothing to show me. No evidence/No data = No case.
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.
