Code for " I like that they(in face to face situations) don't actively challenge superstition in public because it is socially unacceptable, despite that I believe in disembodied beings and magic godsperm".
And who exactly here do you think is gullible and on what specific topic?
There are no "normal" or "abnormal" humans in evolution. There are merely behaviors that manifest in individuals and societies over long periods of time as part of a range.
Evolution produces BOTH beneficial behaviors and destructive behaviors. Evolution produces good genes and bad genes. Evolution produces kindness and cruelty. Those aspects are not label dependent no matter how much you want Christianity to be the patent holder on life. It never was or ever will be.
Most, of the atheists I see on line and in real life are not gullible. But even you said the ones you know personally are "less" gullible, which means it has nothing to do with facts, it has to do with the fact that you don't get into face to face debates with them, and maybe they are too polite to hand your ass to you in debate.
You just want us to be the good Uncle Toms, that's all.
