Ah...no.
While there are plenty of smart people that believe in a god, the percentage of people who are atheist with a high IQ is much greater than with theists.
Smart people can be very good a rationalizing things for bad or invalid reasons.
I know quite a number of atheists, they are all very intelligent, or at least articulate.
Theists continue fabricating these arguments, taking stabs at attacking atheism, and failing miserably each time.

You seem to spend a lot of time bashing atheists. I keep running across your questions aimed at atheists. For someone so secure in your belief in God, why do you find the need to target non believers. To quote the Bible - Matthew 5:7-8 -"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Have you never heard you gather more flies with honey then vinegar. You are the type of person who makes me stay away from the church. Leaving finding fault to your God.

Did you know about 14.2 percent of the people in the world are non-religious or atheists? We are just behind Christianity and Islam. I'm sure there are a lot of smart people in our group, we did/do go to school you know. My mom is an atheist and she is a doctor, so she can't be that unintelligent.

Most people who believe in god believe because that is what they were taught from a young age or from birth. They trust in their parents, not in god. If their parents had preached that there was no god, then they would probably believe that instead. If you have it drilled into your head enough, you will believe anything. If, when grown up and decide that you want to choose for yourself, if you are smart, you will choose not to believe because of all the evidence. Otherwise, you are just one of the mindless sheep.

Those who ACCEPT His invite, at that time (only God knows when) when the Holy Spirit is sent to DRAW MEN's HEARTS to the saving knowledge of Yeshua Ha'Moshiach (JESUS<3).
Once a person has been drawn, and the Good News is revealed to them of the Holy Spirit....it is in their hands. If they choose to REJECT the Spirit's promptings; then they will be LOST forever......the deepest, furthest reaches, the widest CHASM apart from GOD CREATOR and REDEEMER CHRIST! Smarts have little to do with it, so much more is the issue of FAITH IN THE WORKS!
"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you]. To him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen." ~~1Pe 5:6-11

What's a god Atheist? You mean good Atheists. At least we don't lie. Most smart people. You mean the ones in your local church. Very limited range.

Religion - Opium for the masses!
Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu...doesn't matter which, I see a hell of a lot of dumb people everyday using religion instead of their brain to rationalise the world they live in. I see a lot of fanatical faithful milling outside of their church, mosque, temple and few of them exhibit the hall marks of rational thought.
Ignorance is Bliss to the many faithful religious types I see, you don't have to think about too much when you can wipe away responsibility by saying its "Gods Will!"

Lol all the smartest people I know are Atheists or Buddhists. The Christians, no comment because they don't think outside the book if you know what I mean.

Really, cause last time I checked, some of the smartest people in the world, i.e. scientists, are Atheists.
Ionno. Maybe I'm wrong?
Maybe I just don't give a damn.

Is it safe to assume you're including yourself among those who trust in god atheists?
