That's an idiotic and false analogy. Obtaining knowledge about the Universe is nothing like an exam. An exam implies that someone actually knows the correct answers to the questions you're given and you're required to give answers, that were taught to you at some point beforehand.

To give you a better analogy - if you go to - say - a business, or a council meeting, the aim of which is to make decisions on various matters, that will affect many people, which is "a lot worse" - speaking up on every topic at hand, demanding equal say, regardless of how ignorant of it you are, how unevidenced your claims are and how much you're just making sh*t up to suit you, OR honestly admitting that you don't know certain things, shutting up and trying to learn something?

Wild guesses and wishful thinking of pious morons just tend to make things worse and get in the way of real knowledge. Those people should shut the f*ck up and read some books. There's plenty of information already available - nobody needs your made-up nonsense.

Exactly - "as far as you know". And since you don't know sh*t - it's very likely, that ALL religions are "false in all their entirety".

Wrong answers given by your dumb religion blow up sh*t and kill people. I think it's clear to everyone, who's not a brainwashed, self-centred dim-wit, that it's worse than atheism.

Attempted - and failed. Now it's time for them to f*ck off and let the adults work out sh*t.
