Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?

[Esquilax]

I think the reason many people here are atheists, or at least non-religious, is that they understand Christianity all too well.

And the reason we seem ill informed to Delicate and others who make this sort of argument is that we take the long view; we're outside, and have a perspective that takes in the entirety of the religion without condoning any specific portion of it. The trouble comes when people on the inside see us not committing to any one interpretation (they're all equally unjustified, after all) and in particular not committing to their interpretation, which to them is the only valid one. They're in so deep they can't see how their religion looks to one not predisposed to it; why can't we all see that Delicate's religious views are automatically true christianity, because if they weren't why would Delicate believe them? Why are we so ill informed that we don't automatically dismiss the things Delicate thinks are unimportant?

It's because we're outside of it all, looking in. We don't lend automatic credence to any one sect of christianity because none of them have earned any sort of credence at all, and rather than demonstrating why his particular form of christianity is right- the thing that would demonstrate that we're ill informed because it would actually show the flaw in our position- Delicate just wants to haughtily dismiss anyone who dares disagree within his own religion as holding insignificant beliefs, unlike the proper, true, definitely valuable beliefs that he holds.

He just wants to skip to the part where he's right, without doing any of the legwork, and hence everyone else must necessarily be wrong. Shit don't work that way.
