I voted yes.
People say "don't judge a book by its cover", but usually if the cover says "Catholic" I'm going to think "cherry picking, child abuse ignoring, dickwad".
Right or wrong, that's what I'm inclined to think.
I think it differs on this forum than in real life though. Not all theists I've met IRL are dicks, but some of them were, and it was primarily due to their theism than anything else. If I had to be succinct, I'd say at the very least if someone tells me they're a theist, or makes that fact known and wears it like a badge of honor, I'm immediately very skeptical about their general intellect.
