Not smarter, just right on that perticular issue.

It might seem like "we" concider ourselves smarter, but that is just a biproduct of creationists taking offence at us claiming their views to be wrong, and they can't back their arguments up.

An easy answer to get out morally victorious of the sitation "Well you're just an arrogant atheist who thinks he is sooo smart! I have the right to believe in whatever i want!!"

Sure, you can believe in whatever you want, just don't make anyone else believe it or make anyone else suffer from it. And if you don't want me to shit on your faith-based claims, don't engage in an argument with me.

But I will engage you as soon as your religious believes get in the way of human progress, and I most definately will mock the dogma that makes you think that way. If it is desease prevention (condoms), human rights (gays and women), indoctrinating children and withholding scientific facts from them (American schools) or simply hurting and killing people not of your faith (middle-east) I will fucking react and not stand on the sidelines. I won't accept "But I can believe in whatever i want!" Call me arrogant for thinking that, I don't give a fuck.

EDIT: You = religious people, not you personally

But I personally do think it's quite ridiculous to accept world-changing views based on faith alone, and I sometimes mock people trying to justify them. Though this is not a trait i find common among atheists. That's more an anti-theist claim.

I'm an antitheist because i know the world would be a much better place without religion, or any blind dogma-following for that matter.
