Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?

Putting that knowledge in the fruit of a tree then telling the man not to eat the fruit. Adam had no way to know that disobeying god was wrong. Yet god punished him.

In telling him not to eat, god gave him a priori knowledge that eating was wrong. The tree provided experiential knowledge of good and evil. There's more than one type of knowledge. A virgin might have full intellectual knowledge of sex, but he doesn't really know what sex is until he partakes.

Note that Paul said that Eve was deceived, but Adam wasn't - i.e. Adam willingly sinned. He knew that what he was doing was wrong, but did it anyway.
How was Adam supposed to know disobedience was wrong if he didn't understand right and wrong? Telling a child not to do something before you've taught them to obey you and expecting obedience is a sign of moronic deficiency on the part of the parent.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
