Well, here's some unrevealed idiocy nobody else pointed out; you don't get to lump atheists in with skeptics as a blanket term. Atheism doesn't imply skepticism. You can be convinced to leave religion for reasons other than those that are logical, after all. You can believe in all sorts of other non-religious nonsense if you're an atheist. Skeptics are the only applicable term here, please don't add to your list of defects by making that kind of false equivalency.

But because of the way you worded your idiotic attempt at sarcasm (way to try and convert others, acting like an asshole, by the way, the one approach that ALWAYS works), no, it's not always the believers who are gullible and insincere to truth, there are some atheists who do as well, because those atheists did not take the extra leap to be skeptical. They can believe in alien abductions, the healing power of crystals, astrology, etc., and I respect them as much as I respect you, which is to say I don't, at all. But guess what? I do get to make a blanket statement about believers and non-skeptics, that they believe in things without evidence, which is by definition delusional. So in that sense, yes, it's always believers who are gullible in at least some ways, and insincere to at least some obvious truths.

If we're keeping score here, you're losing, bad. You're the guy who would owe money back after the Jeopardy game is over.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
