This stunt is quite humours on a number of levels.

For one thing: the notion of calling oneself a "bright" is sheer arrogance. It also presumptuously implies that those who do acknowledge the obvious existence of God are by the counter terminology of their usupred term: " not bright". IE: "stupid". Seems rather petulant.

This will likely backfire since some of the most learned & "bright" people do indeed acknowledge the existence of God & or a higher power.

The biggest folly these secularist / athiests make is their uniformed presumption that God is not natural or is "supernatueral" as they put it. What they do not seem to realize is that God is natural & operates within the bounds of nature since the very laws of nature that these dullard athiests worship (which is a faith in itself) were created by God (or The Source / the Creator) in the first place. Furthermore: much of the universe has not yet been adequately understood within the realm of our limited understanding or perception.

For athiests to make to audacious claim that God "does not exist" based simply on their limited perspective & dearth of knowledge is certainly the hight of hubris.

Also by praising nature: they are worshipping the work instead of the Creator.

No one with any sense & ability to apply logical reasoning could come to the sweeping conclusion that " God does not exit" when considering the mathematical complexities of the universe & even nature itself as well as the obvious order which exists & is manifest in so much of nature. Nature is simply the consequence & product of an intelligent design. Nature did not manifest all by itself -as athiests seem to pathetically & ludicrously claim. The universe did not come about as the result of a random event. The maticulous & pervasive order of things within the universe & nature point to an inescapable conclusion of intellegent design.

Correction: usurped term. Seems that these athiests are not trying to articulate their position as much as they are trying to redifine themselves by usurping a term that in reality has nothing to do with a disbelief in the existence of a creator.

It's more arrogant than Christians claming to know not only that a god exists, but also its exact nature and methods?

I would think that, given lack of evidence, witholding belief in a god is certainly justifiable. Or are you suggesting that it is "logical" to hold belief in all sorts of bizarre things just because they've not yet been "disproven"?

Also by praising nature: they are worshipping the work instead of the Creator.

Some atheists might "praise nature", but I see no reason to do so. It's just kind of here, I don't see any reason to give it praise. Of course, you're already question-begging by assuming the existence of a "Creator" in the first place.
