Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?

But to be sure, the scientist drugs Fred and implants a chip in his brain. If Fred changes his mind at the last minute, the neuroscientist presses a button causing Fred to kill Bob.

So, the neuroscientist has definitie foreknowledge that Fred will kill Bob. However, most people think that Fred is guilty if he "chooses" to kill (even though he really had no choice), but not guilty if the button was pressed.

Regarding Christianity, the button was pressed; human nature, which you assert that your god created, is the button.
