Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?

[John V]

In his book A History of Political Theory, George Sabine collected the views of many political theorists on consent of the governed. He notes the idea mentioned in 1433 by Nicholas of Cusa in De Concordantia Catholica. In 1579 Theodore Beza wrote Vindiciae contra Tyrannos which Sabine paraphrases: "The people lay down the conditions which the king is bound to fulfill. Hence they are bound to obedience only conditionally, namely, upon receiving the protection of just and lawful government…the power of the ruler is delegated by the people and continues only with their consent." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consent_of_the_governed

Yep, some people hold to consent of the governed. That doesn't make it objectively correct. And regarding god, you have the additional issue that he's above us. We generally don't ask cows if they consent to being slaughtered.
