Are all atheists this ill-informed about religion?

In the Christian version, we are to blame for the way we have handled the stewardship of the planet... it is, ironically, a surprisingly secular position, despite its belief that "sin-magic" is the root cause.

And they never question that. Now I'm making a blanket statement, because I know a lot of christians, who actually don't subscribe to that bullshit. But for the sake of argument, since we're obviously talking about the more fundamentalist bunch.

Adam, a perfect simpleton, not knowing the distinction between good and evil, is punished for something he couldn't wrap his mind around in the first place. Eve, made out of spareribs of Adam, in order to make women a second class being.

Doesn't that strike them as perfectly man made? And I mean that in the male, paternalistic sense. Obviously not, which leads me to a rather spiteful assumption. They (male) like what they're reading and see no problem with that.
