I wasn't referring to anyone who considers themselves a part of any religious denomination, merely Christianity. I label Christians as illogical due to the fact that they take the word of a compilation of ancient texts with next to no factual merit over mathematics and science. Science has disproved many of the main principals that Christianity is predicated upon, and to deny science is to me, illogical.
I'm not saying that every single Christian is stupid (not at all, really), there have been many brilliant minds over the years who held Christian beliefs. We are all illogical at times, and my initial post was more of a response to the type of people who make stories that this topic pertains to news. It was said out of frustration after being reminded that people still think and act that this.
Hope that clears things up slightly.
Edit: Also, I feel it important to say that pondering the existence of some sort of higher being does not make you intellectually inferior at all. However, holding a belief that a theistic figure created everything as it is today as opposed to evolution (essentially a proven fact) is not what I would call logical.
