Religious people are less intelligent than atheists, study finds

44. I agree with you.

The whole religious persecution claim is nonsense and used for political reasons. It's worked reasonably well for them among the electorate, and I think we need to challenge that.

Secularism is the bedrock of this country and they have eroded it. We have to fight back.

The religious left is on the rise, according to recent studies, and are being heard more loudly. Moral Mondays in North Carolina is a great example of that. But the press still likes the religious right for it's sheer power to sell through it's extremism.

I guess anti-theists have the right to their beliefs, but I find much of what they say intolerant at best and bigoted at worst.

I've enjoyed talking to you and I hope we part tonight as friends. I have to get dinner on the table and prepare to travel tomorrow, but I hope we will meet again soon.
