[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So...whenever religious people talk amongst ourselves about stuff like this, I have literally never heard anyone put down atheists or even reference atheists at all.. Not even, "at least I'll feel smug that I wasn't an atheist!" No religious person talks like that, unless they are a cartoon on TV or an actual fanatic. Most people who are believers (and also not fanatic Christian evangelists, which most of us aren't) are happy to just let atheists do their thing and never bring it up.

So when atheists are doing the offhand-condescension move, like, "well I wish I could be dumb enough to believe in god, what a pity I'm not dumb," with the obvious implication that anyone who differs in opinion is dumb, I [i]kinda[/i] lose respect for you guys. And I don't see a big difference between you and the evangelists. Just saying.[/quote]

Most atheists these days were once religious themselves - because they were brought up in a religion.  I've never known one to think that their IQ increased when they dropped their beliefs.   They do think their knowledge and understanding has increased though.  They took the time to think religion through and decided it did not make sense to believe.[/quote]
