Lack of belief isn't a choice. If I said I believed in god I would be lying to you and myself, because it wouldn't be true. People don't choose to not believe in something, they simply don't believe it. Also it isn't denial. It's rejection/dismissal. You say there is a god, I'm saying I don't believe you.
So either you fail to understand this or you refuse to accept it.
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.
