> Fighting a much more numerous enemy may seem stupid, but if you really believe your ideology, any odds of success are better than none.

Embracing and believing this destructive ideology itself in the first place, when you could devote your life to so many better[1] things, is the sign of stupidity I mean.

Believing that God wants you to murder other people (heck, even babies) over things such as who's worshiping Him correctly... stupid.

1. Better for... you name it: Your quality of life, welfare of other human beings, economically, spiritually, environmentally.

Making a mistake, even a pretty fundamental mistake, doesn't necessarily mean somebody is stupid. If you need to get really deep into theology before you can even be in a position to make the mistake, it's a mistake only a smart and educated person can make. The list of famous mathematicians who tried to prove the existence of god includes Descartes, Newton, Leibniz and Gödel. A fool's errand, to be sure, but those were no stupid fools.
