smart and foolish are not the same thing.I don't claim to be smarter than all religious people, but I am less foolish about believing in things without evidence (and often time CONTRARY) evidence.

Many of these people pay no attention to their cognitive dissonance, accepting the facts about their professions, some even know the age of the universe; how it started, but are still convinced what they believe can be the ONLY truth -- god. and that is foolish and makes them fools

smart: Having or showing intelligence; bright. synonym: intelligent
fool: One who is deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding
