Religious people are religious because they don't understand science and especially not evolution and I think those kind of knowledge is crucial for your look at life and how nature and our body really works.

Yeah, all those successful Religious people never went to college and are all dumb.

 

Give me a break. Where is Smeags when you need him.

There are always exceptions. The point is that a small amount of religious people get into high profile scientific studies and you can't tell me I'm ignorant for accepting a fact: http://social.popsugar.com/Why-so-Many-Scientists-Atheists-6259603 . Therefore it has a meaning if you look at it statistically. So overall, the knowledge acquired and nessecary for scientific studies tend to make them atheist/agnostic (like me).

Also, the last 25-30 years, we got much smarter because of computers/internet/games/scientific progress. The numbers of people who believe in God has also decreased significantly since then. Why can't people be reasonable and just accept facts like this?

I'm pretty sure the number of people who believe in god has gone up
