I was a part of the generally accepting and not thinking group, which is why I became an atheist eventually. That method is not however is not why I have chosen to be a theist now. But you can say it how you want, it's your opinion.
The above would be accurate but I also believe that the majority of believers do not think critically about their beliefs.. I do not know of any major traditions that routinely ask atheistic questions of their faith, at least it is not part of the culture...
It seems to bear out that this is the case when we see tv evangelists rake in millions of dollars.. or all of the money to palm readers and psychics and the like.. It is because the general theistic public is non critical...
Most people are born into theistic tradition and have no real reason to reject it , critically and sincerely analyze it then re-accept it.. I find that a rarity..
