None of the smart people, including Einstein, Doystoevky, Steve Jobs, Da Vinci, Newton etc...are atheist.

None of the people I actually know in freemasonry, government, high cultural/media/political position is an atheist.

Why? Because you really must be a dumb, ignorant and boring fùck to be an atheist.

WHICH do not mean that I am religious...I'm spiritual, I do believe in God, and in my own sense, he simply doesn't do, act or prevent good or evil...it just is.

There are smart atheists, just like there are smart theists. One reason why you don't know that many atheists in government, is because it's considered political suicide, and people won't vote for them. Also, stating that you don't know any? Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong were atheists I believe. Also, spirituality is a type of religious belief.

Spoken like forementionned ignorants.

A. I'm not 'murican, I'm French, a laic state (Church and Government have been separated for a century).

B. There are NO smart atheist. There are decent, good, even successful ones but certainly not smart, talented, interesting ones.

C. Stalin and Mao indeed were atheists. They killed hundreds of millions of people trying to impose failed fascistic states: that's what atheists do.

D. Not. False, simply. Religiosity is a type of spirituality, not the other way around, there are even atheists arguing they can be spiritual (which of course is completely semanticaly wrong)


A. Church and state are seperated in the U.S. too.

B. That's a generalization. There are many teachers who are atheists. Also, what's interesting is opinion.

C. Iran is an extremely religious state, and they kill many people a year, including children, as well as having public executions. You could make the same generalized statement about people that believe in God, that they kill many people a year. Also, While I may not support Stalin, he turned the USSR into a huge superpower, and I would say that you have to be smart to do that.

D. Okay, I guess I was wrong about that, because I can't find anything saying that spirituality is a type of religion.
