I say:
The first person who claims another an idiot has made it perfectly clear that it is actually they who are truly ignorant.

I do not think that there is a correlation between Atheism and ignorance.
Some Atheist are very intelligent and some are not.
Some Theists are very intelligent and some are not.
I do not even think Atheist are lacking in faith. I think Atheism is a misplacement of great faith.
Atheists believe the entire wonderful universe came into being all by itself from the smallest subatomic particle to the most immense galaxy and from the amazing complexity of the human mind to the love between a mother and child.
I find it much easier to believe that an all powerful and all loving God is behind it all.
I do not have enough faith to be an Atheist.
With love in Christ.

inverse correlation. Of the roughly 45 studies done and published on the topic since the '50's, all but either 3 or 4 have found the atheism gets more prevalent with increased intelligence.

good question. What i % to work out is a study that shows what happens to the intelligence of a man or woman who the two (a) convert to faith or (b) leaves the religion. Do human beings quite think of there's a measurable improve if a man or woman will become an atheist? And what approximately those in this communicate board who Calim we are all born atheists stating non concept in God? would not that line of concept infer all of us could have the comparable Intelligence?

Ignorance is as ignorance does.....and says
Lack of respect for other peoples beliefs, questions and answers is ignorance to a degree, which we may all be guilty of from time to time (nothing to do with atheists)
there are worst things to be than ignorant in life

I agree.
The correlation is inverse. The more atheists, the less ignorance.

People use ignorant as a word that means, "You have a different opinion as me and I think it's wrong."

They are correlated. They are inversely proportional.
