Some are sincere but sincerely wrong. So when I read statements like that, I don't necessarily disagree. But, I hate being put into that camp just because I am a theist. I trust that there is a God and that He has revealed Himself in Scripture. Too bad nobody reads it. The English bible, all versions, has been manipulated to support theology, creeds and the Church which is not truth.
NOBODY reads scripture? I think what you're saying is that no one understands scripture to mean what you think it means. Which is pretty much what every Christian's specific beliefs ultimately boil down to.
