I know this is kind of a broad question but,
What is the general view of the average atheist regarding reality as it pertains to causality or just reality generally? Thanks!

I don't think there is such a thing as the avarage atheist. We all happen to agree that god or gods do not exist, but outside the topic of religion our opinions can differ greatly.
My perseption of reality might not be too differant from yours, apart from the religious aspect of it. I do not believe in the existence of god or gods, some afterlife, spirits/souls and such. Nothing supernatural. That's pretty much it. I tend to favour chances and random natural events than pre-plained ones. I don't believe in fate or anything like that.

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.
