That's a big part of it. Whenever I've asked Christians why they believe a book somebody wrote and said came from god over and above their brains they clam god made without anybody having to tell them, they say their brains cannot be trusted. Ask them how then they can trust the brains of the men who wrote the bible and they dismiss the question as irrelevant.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.
