Religion requires you to supress your intellect.

Since when?

Since never. This attitude is quite dog-eared by now and yet there are still those who imagine that rejection of religion demonstrates intellectual rigor. Some of the most brilliant minds who have ever lived have been devout Christians without ever feeling that their faith required them to "suppress" their intelligence. Quite the contrary.

What about Albert Einstein? Steven Hawkins(sp?)? These are argueably two of the greatest minds to ever walk the face of the planet.
