Athiests more intelligent than believers

[Czech_Me_Out]

I think religion creates fear for those in a scientific background. Their lives revolve around truths and things that can be proven. Religion is an uncertainty. It requires you to believe undoubtingly in something that can never be proven to a mass society. For them to believe in science as well as religion seems to them to be a contradiction. However, as a believer, I feel I should state that the big bang theory is a theory, just as the existance of God is a theory. Neither has been proven and neither can be.

I think religion is used by many people as a shield against the unknown fears that they are too afraid to discover or accept, such as Death, the point of existence, etc. etc. It is something that person doesn't need to research or dig into, it is merely followed, obeyed and beleived, while giving answeres and credence to many aspects that plague us. It allows people to live their life under the pretense that they "know" what will happen, thus they have nothing to fear, but the consequences of going against what they are told to believe in unflinchingly.

We all know this Life ends, so everyone will find out in his or her own way the truth.

We all know this Life ends, so everyone will find out in his or her own way the truth.

This is one of the absolute truths that we know of, besides truth is subjrctive to everyone and objective to none, consensus will never be reached by each and every individual.
