In mere reality, atheists and agnostics are consistently and demonstrably more knowledgeable about religions and magic books than practitioners are. It's more like the people who tend to know the most about these things just don't believe in them or even actively reject them, than that they'd only glimpsed the cover. Personally, it's not the absurd myths or the explicit lies or the historic revisionism that are a deal breaker for me. I enjoy mythology. It's the fundamental message that's a no-go.
