Had to go with the last choice. I would like to think better of my fellow humans, and this certainly doesn't apply to all theists, but the gullibility and stupidity on display by many are unavoidable. It's as if religion has become a kind of zoo for undesirable mental traits: irrationality, gullibility, stupidity, ignorance, etc.
It's not that these traits can't be found among atheists, but the relative concentration among the religious is astounding. Being that out of touch with reality must take considerable effort.
