The Geek shall inherit the Earth!

Because we are smarter! The link below is a interesting article regarding the large amount of "geeks" that are atheists, it makes some good points. However it starts with this flawed sentence -

"‘Geek’ brings to mind a long list of traits- Glasses, obsession with science, a high IQ."

I think he means a "nerd", the word geek can often be attributed to those characteristics but is more likely to be associated with these traits - video-game t-shirt, obsession with Science-Fiction/video games/fantasy (or any combination of the three) and a higher than average IQ.

Also you need to overlook that the article fails to acknowledge that many of the "geeks" in question are probably agnostic and not atheists. For instance Einstein was not a believer in either the Jewish or Christian god, but he also said this -

"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings."

Now that is agnosticism not atheism.

But if you over look the writers confusion with the words "geek", "nerd", "atheist" and "agnostic" and presume the writers are neither smart enough to be geeks or nerds (because they would be smart enough to know the difference); then this is... wait a second this article sucks! :)
