Christians and people with another religion are morons, seems to be an accepted opinion on this forum, or am i wrong?

Among some, yes, but not all. I am Christian, and there are a few others here as well. But atheists tend to be disproportionately represented on the Internet.

I would rephrase that, some christens are morons, some atheists are morons, and some people making blanket statements are morons.

If you've come across it, it's held by some people, though I wouldn't say the majority think so.

I tend to believe that morons are morons, and that strangely IQ and a person's beliefs are a lot less correlated than most people think.

Seriously though I have been thinking about this. There is absolutely no way that I would broadcast my godless (or marxist) views over the local radio, in the local paper, or to my customers (excepting a select few). Here, I feel safe to be openly atheist, no one will hear me saying that I believe god to be an imaginary supernatural being with as much credence as the rainbow serpent and as a consequence cancel my booking and encourage their friends to do likewise.

I doubt that I am Robinson Crusoe in this, in fact I believe that the opposite is true. So I suspect that when you come across a thread like PPR where a diverse group of people come together whilst it might seem that the percentage of atheists is out of proportion to what you see in day to day life, it is quite plausible that a truer representation of the percentage of atheists in the population is to be found on the internet.

Christianity did not create the dark ages but it certainly didn't help end it any faster.

I personally am quite open about my views on anything, so if someone doesn't like the fact that I hate corporations, governments and religion, screw 'em.

Perhaps some of this is related to social pressures- I know that where I grew up at least, very few would ever dare to be openly atheist. You would run enough risk just claiming agnosticism. Still, the Internet seems to be overwhelmingly atheist, which is in contrast to all other polling methods which find strong majorities believing in God.

Orwell, let me guess and say that the majority of people on the Internet are from generation X or Y and a large chunk are atheist for varying reasons. Done.

When people cannot accept the fact that I will never accept a god as my savior, they are peasants.
