Why are so many really smart folks atheists?
Why are many atheists very intelligent and some of them very highly educated? Many of them have greater faith than some Christians. It takes a lot of faith to be an atheist though. Imagine enough faith to believe that you just "happened" or to believe that you are your own god.
There are several reasons I suppose. One is that when people are well off, happy and healthy, just about any belief system, religion or lack thereof will work fine for them, at least for a while. For some it lasts a whole lifetime which is really kind of sad when you think about it.
One of the main reasons is that many atheists have never actually encountered true Biblical Christianity. As intellegent and even above average folks they have sense enough on their own to see that what is being peddled by the world as "Christianity" is fake. Even a basic knowledge of mathmatics and simple English would help one to see how stupid and self contradictory the trinity garbage is.
So for the average atheist to reject religion when all they have seen is trinitarian false-christianity is just them being intelligent and discerning.
An atheist is far closer to the Kingdom of God than most false-christians like trinitarians because at least the atheist knows that he is not a Christian. The trinitarian however is full of false-christian garbage and being held by their pride by the devil. For a trinitarian to become a real Christian by obeying Acts 2:38 (Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.) the trinitarian would have to admit that they were not Christians yet. It is tragic how many are willing to end up in a Lake of Fire rather than admit they they made a mistake.
So let's not be too hard on our atheist neighbor because he has most likely never encountered true Christianity and is simply doing the smart thing by rejecting false-christian garbage.
