I feed the squirrel a peanut . Why is it more people of faith believe in alien life forms than people of no faith.

Anyone know why?

Atheism is rational, so I have a hard time understanding why the average iq of the population isn't higher since at least one in six Americans have to be atheists. At least eighty five percent of that seventeen percent are closet atheists. So are atheists who have come out of the closet smarter than those who have not?

its perfectly alright to admit to the world that you wish to divulge your homosexuality. This is the year 2011 but you don't need to do it anonymously on a tech forum, through a thinly veiled topic on "Atheism". Its ok we all understand and accept you here
