I have never met an atheist who has read a single professional paper in a academic field and in almost all the debates that I have had with atheists, their knowledge of philosophy and of the limitations of the scientific method and science in general comes to touch ignorance.

The funny part is that the best scientists and philosophers in history were theists, a large part were Christians and the other simply theists skeptical of religion.

Have you had similar experiences?.

Yeah I think the "smart atheist" cope is because atheism was derivative of their main beliefs (like humanism, liberalism, hegelian-marxism for Hitchens etc). You find the atheist celebrities are pretty unique even from each other while almost every atheist proponent, who only knows atheism, rejects absolutely everything and they imagine themselves intelligent. They have no ability to accept truth as they can only reject an undefined God.

The technological singularity implies that God exists. God is an AI and we live in a simulation.

I can bet those so called """Christians""" and """Jews""" weren't even practicing believers. What a retarded image to lure in more retards. You people are same like nationalist who have no personal achievements so they have to cling to the achievements of their fellow men, stupid tribal apes.

The source is a highly questionable book, once read how they compiled that data and the presumption of what being christian mean for the author.

>A meta-analysis of 63 studies showed a significant negative association between intelligence and religiosity.

>Confirming previous conclusions, the new analysis showed that the correlation between intelligence and religious beliefs in college and noncollege samples ranged from -.20 to -.23.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31610740/

>The negative association between cognitive intelligence (CI) and religiosity has been widely studied and is now well documented.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31748923/

>Recent research has indicated a negative relation between the propensity for analytic reasoning and religious beliefs and practices.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23784742/

>Participants more willing to engage in analytic reasoning were less likely to endorse supernatural beliefs. Further, an association between analytic cognitive style and religious engagement was mediated by religious beliefs, suggesting that an analytic cognitive style negatively affects religious engagement via lower acceptance of conventional religious beliefs.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22481051/

>Our results indicate that the association between analytic thinking and religious disbelief is not caused by a simple order effect. There is good evidence that atheists and agnostics are more reflective than religious believers.

>On this question, the pronouncements of highly learned men are so varied and so much at odds with each other that inevitably they strongly suggest that the explanation is human ignorance, and that the Academics have been wise to withhold assent on matters of such uncertainty; for what can be more degrading than rash judgement, and what can be so rash and unworthy of the serious and sustained attention of a philosopher, as either to hold a false opinion or to defend without hesitation propositions inadequately examined and grasped?
—Cicero, The Nature of the Gods, 1.1

Atheism has no ontological narrative to accept truth or write in its conception of truth. As any ideology we can do that. Atheism is the acceptance of some theology then the negation of it. It literally points nowhere, not even necessarily away from theology. Naturalism doesn't deny theism even if its not theist. It says where it is (in your neurons). You can't deny it after you just said it existed. You see how stupid you sound?

Geez guess atheists are still biding their time for the perfect opportunity. We'll pretend it's a belief (or an anti belief) like hitchens used to criticize not long ago *smug* *smirk* mmm toasty
