It's perfectly possible to be a straight-up genius and go to church every Sunday, just likes it's perfectly possible to be a stupid atheist.

Once you're grown I don't a **** how and by whom you were raised and I don't care if you're Newton and Einstein rolled up as one times ten. If you believe stupid **** that makes you stupid. There's no excuse. You can either think critically or you can't. If you can't tell you're eating **** just because your entire culture swears it's delicious dark chocolate. You're stupid. You can cure cancer and invent a bicycle you can ride to the moon. Believing stupid **** makes you stupid and deserving of ridicule. That's fair.
