I like the Allegory of the cave. I've never heard that before.
It seems to me that ex-theists would stand the best chance of using the Socratic method on theists successfully as they have lived in the cave before.
It's also no wonder that people who have never been a theist would think theists are stupid, having themselves never experienced living in a cave.
I willing to bet that quite a few fancy that they would have seen through the illusion of the shadow even if they were born in the cave.
