The smart people who believe are usually the ones that don't talk about religion much, unless asked. They're respectful of others' views, and generally understand that there's usually more pressing things to discuss/do at the moment.
The dumb people are those that are always making a show of it, tying everything back to their god in a glassy-eyed fervor. You can't go five minutes without them praising god for something completely mundane. They are like children, only instead of going on and on about their favorite Pokemon, they're talking about their deity.
I met plenty of extremely intelligent Christians over the years. They're outnumbered by the idiots, but they do exist. And some of them are quite evangelical. I know I certainly was.
So yeah, there's a third category: deeply-deluded-but-smart.
Too bad there aren't any of the third type on this forum. That would make things fun.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
