One of the more ironic mysteries of the atheist subculture is how it tends to attract an overwhelming number of guys who are way out at the end of the “unlikely to reproduce” end of the bell curve.

If those guys used instead of worshipped their intellects, they might wonder why that is, or whether religion is really all that bad for the species, or whether they are really as superior and evolved as they think they are, or any of a number of other things.

But that would require using rather than worshipping the intellect and the New Atheist subculture isn’t really into that. It mistakes its shriveled humanity for a bigger brain.
