Science is consensus. Reality does favour the masses. Or the obscenely rich. ''You create your own reality.''

Religion is fuelled by lack of understanding. Once we didn't know anything about the sun or solar system. Religion couldn't explain to us with detail what the solar system is. Religion only gives one simple answer, "godidit" and that's it. It doesn't thirst for knowledge, science does that. If religion really was about gaining knowledge it wouldn't of stood against new ideas like the earth not being the centre of the universe or burning women won't prevent churches from being struck by lightning. Also it wouldn't of stood against evolution. Since religion knows nothing, how can it be right about anything? Why won't it admit to not knowing something?

Reality does not favour the masses as in no matter how many believe in something, it does not make it more real. Like if everyone believed that the earth's core is made entirely of gold, just because you believe it doesn't make it true. If everyone believed in god, they can still all be wrong.
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.
