Do you follow the same religion as your parents?

<p>It was merely a cynical jab at what I perceive to be misguided intellectual elitism among atheist teens ;)</p>

<p>I don’t know. Not all atheists are elitist jerks that think they are better than everyone around them (though some are), and not all theists are mindless drones that try to shove propaganda down your throat (though some do). I personally believe that religion doesn’t really have any bearing on how intelligent someone is. Intelligence is something that’s predetermined, it’s genetic, whereas religion is something that’s cultivated. If the smartest person in the world was raised religious, he or she would still be the smartest person in the world. Same thing goes for if he or she was raised as an atheist.</p>
