You're talking about BILLIONS of people. Call me old fashioned, but I don't think you can paint people with that broad of a brush.

And I said: There is no Christian, Muslim, or Buddhist hive mind. Cheating is always done by an individual.

Also, I don't think Religious belief is a separate category from other closely held beliefs. Try talking science to the crazy anti GMO or anti Vaccine crowd and see how far you get.

But I agree with you here. First crazy anti GMO or anti Vaccine crowd are not necessarily atheists. And second even if they are, it does not mean that they cannot be stupid. There are enough pseudo-atheists, which are 'proud' not to believe in a god, but happily replaced god with some other mumbo-jumbo. Stupidity is not bound to a certain religious belief.
