This should be in the philosophy forum, in my opinion. Here's my take on this...
To believe in God, or to believe in any concept for that matter, connotes a lack of intelligence with regard to the subject at hand. You must ask if you believe something, meaning you don't have sound premises for a supporting rationale (yet accept it anyhow), then what is it you really understand? If it can't be said that you understand much on a particular subject, then how is it at all possible to muster intellect without understanding and knowledge? Therefore, belief denotes the logical impossibility of intellect (on a particular subject) in my mind.
Now, if you do not believe in God, it could mean one of two things. You could be just as unintellectual as the person who believes in God if you both go by the same premises (i.e., Indo-European concept of "God", etc.). Or you could be of considerable intelligence given you don't believe, but you know, that God exists given some set of sound premises.
If we were real citizens, then there would be no need for "Civil Rights". There are already enough laws on the law books to protect the rights of real citizens.
