No they are weird,

They are murderers, ( Stalin, Pot Pot, Mao, etc. ), They think they are smart, but yet ask them, "Why am I wrong?", they will never give a answer.

So they can not be that much smarter.

Atheists and religious people are equally stupid and weird.

On the internet: Atheists are tied to fedora-tippers because they often are. Anyone who has been on the internet since the 90s can tell you this, they are horrible smartass psuedo-intellects, most of them young, who likely were born in religious families who rebel and feel more intelligent because of it. 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.

Atheists obviously are not weird. Some Atheists are just annoying know it alls who have a strange fixation on what they perceive as the stupidity of religion. Anima Libera's post in this thread is a perfect example of this. Most atheists aren't loud and annoying about it, its just the one's who loudly label themselves as atheists and see it as a marker of their identity that are this way. I'm not an atheist, but I see the logic to it and I respect it, but I do find certain atheists annoying, just as I see certain theists as annoying.

So you are saying militant atheist are the ones that bother you?

not the general atheist public who just resign from a belief in a god but do not use it as a identity.

I see, makes sense.

There's nothing weirder in 2015 than believing in religion despite all the cold hard evidence proving it a complete fairy tale.

Here's an article that cites a few of these studies.
