By now it should be very clear to anyone who has read even just a few comment threads, whether in a forum or social media website, that by the simple virtue of being an atheist you can claim intellectual superiority.
Yes, it is just that simple.
Atheism means critical and empirical thinking, questioning and learning and wanting proof in every establishment be it religion or science and since religion can't produce measurable and solid evidence on the existence of god, atheists are left searching for answers. The seeking of truth and evidence render atheists smarter than their opposite counterpart who settle for holy books written thousands of years ago and then actually buying those ideals as the 'eternal truth' while atheists dig deeper and find anomalies and contradictions and then question and then seek further. Theism is stagnant - atheism is progressive.
By being an atheist you can make yourself smarter (or at least smarter than those religious nuts who claim to be virtuous just because they are religious). But don’t take my word for it—read a few comment threads on Digg or Facebook, and the subject of God and atheism will inevitably come up, and as anyone with half a brain can notice, every single atheist is mentally superior to every other person of faith (who is in turn morally superior). And, if their word is not enough, why just look at their eloquently written references to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and other philosophical weapons that they so deftly deploy.
So if you want to be smart, become an atheist. Also, it’s a very good weapon for guarding against anyone who tries to point out that you have no other intellectually redeeming qualities.
I want to ask intelligent theists a question:
Did God create religion or did religion created God?
For an atheist, the answer is the obvious.
