These are people who 1) talk a lot about religion on line, and 2) have enormous confidence in their own reasoning power, and 3) know little or nothing about theology. And of course until quite recently they often referred to the works of Dawkins and/or Hitchens.
This is the sort of person who thinks he has any and every Christian check-mated, while not bothering to learn much more about Christian thought than "TalKinG SnaKES!!1!" "NO MaterIAl EvidENce!!!!!"
Who cares what people who study theology think? They are literally folk who have the opportunity to get a university education and choose to squander it on studying the ins and outs of a superstition.
That tells me what I need to know about their "judgement".
Nothing they learn about it can change the fact that their god does not and cannot exist for myriad reasons.
