I received a grant once, ( Man oh man, was that nice! ) I am descended from poor ignorant hillbillies and I'm not an atheist. Frankly I don't know very much in the great scheme of things and I'll tell You this as well, those hillbillies are hospitable and fun folk to hang out with. You don't get that with the ivory tower crowd Boyo! Yeee ha for Hee ha!

The way you put it 'highly educated' atheists versus 'poor ignorant' baptist hillbillies says it all doesn't it? A highly educated chap is worth more intellectually than someone who is both poor and ignorant.
At the end of the day, maybe it comes down to mass indoctrination. People who are atheists have broken free from fear of hell and the supernatural ether that apparently is God. Others...well, live their whole life being confined to their religions, they wouldn't know better.
Oh, by the way, I'm an atheist- Buddhist. Karma's my judge.

Do you qualify to label hillibillies poor ignorant baptists?
...and FYI, atheists really need to do serious research before they can declare themselves one. They need grants too just like the hillibillies; only the church has not been giving grants to them but milking many of them high & dry, destitute.
I wonder what you will be doing about it.

it's because once people start to learn more they realise that there is a natural reason why things happen and they don't have to blame God for it. I'm pretty sure that is how most (old) religions began, to explain the unexplainable. but that is actually backward since you need to know that first...
but even highly educated people can still be religious, I know several. after all, there are still things that people just can't explain...

Poorly educated atheists have a better handle on knowledge and truth than baptists as well.

Your forgetting one thing, God does NOT call those who are already trained, He trains those who are called, The deciples who Jesus called are from the same area of life as those who will be the ones who finish His work, the ones of humble employment, not the trained preacher but the lay person the regular person who although not well educated but are inabled by God to finish His work, find out more free on line bible lessons www.amazingfacts.org talk to me also wgr88@yahoo.com God bless.

That is so very ignorant, why is it that whenever someone is sure they are right, they have to put someone else down to prove how "smart" (and self-assured) they are?
