Because they are all wrong. Just that you wrongly generalized three groups of people now. One thing all those can agree on though is that you are stupid. A giant victory for mankind.

Do you honestly believe that Atheists who look down on religous people for being mentally lacking are a minority among Atheists? Be real.
Yes.
And I've answered this question from you before, which confirms one of my three theories posted above.
If I look down on someone intellectually, it's because they're legitimately stupid. Not because of their belief system.
Look at it this way: If an atheist thinks a person is dumb for believing in a religion, chances are it's because they're doing so on childhood upbringing, fuzzy logic, and faith. They aren't critiquing the religion per say, but the person's inability to rationalize it. And you could sub out "atheist" in that example and just use any rational, intelligent human being of any belief system....it's pretty universal, and doesn't apply to any one group (as you seem to believe).
Brilliant people can belong to any denomination (and DO belong to pretty much every denomination). So can dumb people.

only as well as you lay the foundation for them.

My point exactly. But to Mota, by the way he talks about it, it seems like his assertion feels intuitively correct to him, regardless of his inability to back it up with some form of logic. So it's likely his opinion won't be swayed.
Coincidentally, after I posted a similar post to my last post in our other conversation, he stopped responding. I'm not really expecting any more responses, and will be just as happy to leave him alone from now on. It's a shame when I can't convince someone to be a bit more compassionate and rational toward others, but if I fail there's no sense in continuing to try.
Guys...Christmas is not the time to see who is right and who is wrong. It's a time to love and spend it with family and friends. Love each other. Atheists give a hug to Christians...Christians hug them back.

Yeah, but we could do that every day and the world would be better.
Oh, you STFU and go away.
