I imagine there are many who consider themselves intellectual, but don't think critically.
Expand on why..I'm interested in understanding the frame of mind.
As far as the 'point' of atheism, I think it's possible they're here to balance themselves. They were perhaps fundamentalists that caused a lot of problems in the past. Atheists generally care about providing their idea of balance to a collective mind that is entrenched in dogma. Their task would be to approach spirituality in an entirely rational manner, except it seems many lack the exposure to such points of view.

I used to think I was an atheist because of all the archetypes on tv about crazy christians. i was previously brought up catholic and i had long since started to question exactly what I was reading about.
I would be at a standstill because there were so many religions that i said who's to say one is more right than the other.
i wouldn't necessarily follow any, i just always had faith in a creator, there has to be oversight... there just has to be lol.
