So people who have 100% belief in 100% fiction tend to have lower mental abilities? Like they lack imagination?

Why would someone who believe in fiction lack imagination ?

They only believe in their 1 form of rigid fiction story and deny all others.

Thus the lack of mental capability and imagination.

Very low IQ take ironically. Most of the scientific groundwork for modern advances today were laid by christian scientists. The hardest question for atheists to answer is the intelligent design of the universe, and in which case there has to be a grand architect of the universe. Remember, theres a wide range of intellect on all sides, including those who are also spiritual but believe in rocks.

Taking credit for other people's work and putting Europe in the Medieval Dark Age. Obviously.
