I mean there is no free will or consciousness in Atheism (the absence of belief in the existence of supernatural) since according to them everything is material/physical. So how can they claim that their view is true if it was predetermined?

A weight of studies over the years have found a negative correlation between intelligence and religiosity. But if that's the case, then why is it so? A new theory proposes that the reason more intelligent people tend to be less religious is because (1) religiosity is rooted in instinct, and (2) more intelligent people are able to overcome their instinctual religiosity relatively more often than less intelligent people.

Just some conjecture on my end, let me know what you think.

Theism isn't a personal descriptipn of belief. It's too broad to have any meaning besides some vague idea.

Ultimately it is up to atheists to figure out what atheism means.
/since atheists are using the word theism to describe their belief or lack of it, ie "atheism"./
Have a nice day.

*religion in this case is religion as a monolithic thing, not specifically one religion or another but just the idea of it at all.

My sister topic to: theists attack atheism because they are insecure

So before I ragged on the theist tendencies about atheism, but oh no I'm not done yet! Now you see atheists are no saints either. They often do things just as bad in terms of intellectual honesty. Making strawmen and the like. I wasn't able to really think of a lot to say about what atheists...
