By rationality, what I mean is, specifically, reaching accurate beliefs about the world. If we define rationality as "whatever strategies win", then of course rationalists are going to win; however, it might also be the case that the rational thing to do is to brainwash yourself with drugs and mental training into believing in nonexistent deities (depending on how tolerant your society is of atheists and how good of a liar you are).
