Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?
RE: Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?
Yes but insisting that there is any fully omniscient being would also force that condition... even if they were not a creator but in fact created by another being that was a powerful creative force but very ignorant, almost mindless and far from omniscient it would still apply (and because of the omniscient created being, not because of the non-omniscient creator being).

Basically it's the omniscience that binds the deterministic factor to the matter, it's nothing to do with being a creator or anything like that.

The factor of 100% omniscience effectively (for all intents and purposes) creates full determinism even in an otherwise physically indeterministic universe... and although indeterminism gives no better chance for contra-causal free will (randomness is not freedom) - determinism obviously completely undermines all but compatabilist versions of free will: and it does so by definition.
