Atheists= intelligent?

[Edwardo Piet]

I had to read your reply twice because I somehow fail to see where the point to what I was trying to make and your response actually had any correlation. First off, I don't hold any value to absolute certainties. This is something useless that is nice to talk about in philosophy or amongst "true" believers, but it holds no water.

We can however assume things based on experience, and as such come to conclusions without scientific basis. We can assume that if a truck gets larger, it is probably heading straight for me, without the aid of mathematics or physics. That gives me time to get out of the way. You don't need to be a brainiac to figure that out.

But a lot of times us atheists are being accused of being 2 sides of the same coin. And looking at a lot of responses atheists make on YT I am not surprised. And that is not because of absolute certainty, but because of trying to feel superiour by knocking the other party down as far as I can tell.

I don't think I was disagreeing with your post in anyway, I was just replying to it, and saying that I think that while the whole Religion vs IQ thing does seem to favor atheists on average, I think the bigger enemy is faith and that its really, on a higher level atleast, its more of a Faith vs IQ thing. So that includes pseudoscientfic faith-heads, and on very rare occasions what I'd call strong gnostic atheists that are so strong it could be seen as dogmatic. But often, its not that they really believe that its not possible that God can exist. But they just behave that way anyway, and take it too far, so they might aswell think it if they're gonna behave like that.
