Religion is Stupid
Introduction
Is religion stupid? Christians are often characterized as ignorant people who believe whatever they are told by their church. Faith is thought of as something that one believes blindly - with no supporting evidence. Are religious people more stupid than atheists? Why are more scientists atheists than are found in the general population?
