I'm an atheist and I pretty much agree. I've really never seen anything to suggest that atheist are any smarter or happier than theists. I mean I'm not gonna get any brownie points if I turn out to be right about there not being a god. I'll die and then... not have much chance to gloat. I recognize religion's power to affect the world around it in catastrophic ways, but on a personal level I couldn't give less of a **** about another person's religious beliefs (alright I have a bit of contempt for Creationists). Whatever gets you from now to death with a minimum of misery is fine by me. Just please stop wasting precious trees on your stupid pamphlets.
