It's definitely not the level of willful denial, Atheists, Theists, most people, are not that bad.
But it's still, to some degree, wrong and sinful (misses the mark of glory and high honor) to confuse truth with falsehood, because you mix falsehood with truth, and then you don't know what you know and what you don't.
Building on clear knowledge all the way, is the best and most upright way, while building on doubtful matters or conjecture, is ok, if we realize it's doubtful, but when we emotionally invest in that conjecture as knowledge and believe it to the same degree of things we know for certain, then we are confused and are prey to deceivers and liars who will mislead us.
