They inject their voice into a lot of debates for no real reason. I don't know why it is, but it's an internet thing.
For example, take the reddit kiddo who made that post: “Just to be clear, I’m not a professional ‘quote maker’. I’m just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. This being said, I am open to any and all criticism.
‘In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.’"
I don't know what the hell a professional quote maker is, but it's clear a lot of atheists identify with the fact that Atheism makes them smarter. It doesn't. It shows even more in that huge Atheist group that decided to make their new logo an A being surrounded by atoms, implying they are a scientific group when they arent. Humanists don't do that. Other religions don't. Atheism is not a religion of 'science' or make you more 'intellectual'. It's just you are A-THEIST, you do not believe in the presence of a god.
Both on and offline: Studies have shown that people who are atheists are more likely to have intellectual impairments such as autism. A bunch of studies have actually found if you identify as atheist, you are more likely to have an autism spectrum disorder.
