I cannot speak for anyone else, but I have no qualms calling you a liar in this regard.
It is true that most atheists do understand Christianity, have read the bible, because most of us were former theists.
Most atheists, at least in the USA, are former Christians. Many different denominations, of course, so if you get really, really, desperate, you'll go for the "no true Scotsman" response and say that ______ was never actually a Christian to begin with. Many, like myself, have large portions of the Bible memorized, and have taken various Biblical studies courses. Naturally, you'll respond that they just were too _______ (fill in an insult you haven't used yet, if you can think of one) to understand. It took me 50 years to break away from my Pentecostal upbringing. So yes, you came in here with the assertion that we're stupid and we don't understand Christianity, which is of course a lie. It's also probably the worst opening possible, if you actually were hoping to change someone's mind and heart. Clearly, your entire purpose for being on this forum is to insult people.
