Thank the internet. Stupid people tend to believe the atheist evangelists who infest the internet like a cancer. Rather than critically examining the claims made by these individuals, the stupid will tend to succumb to the internet style of appeal to ridicule fallacy.
it’s not the ‘net. The least educated folks will not be online but in front of their television sets watching the lowest possible TV shows. This is not “atheism”, but just “I don’t care ism”. These are hardly the atheist philosophers and could barely elucidate what they do besides “uh”
