Well we are gullible as kids. And then later, when we grow up, a lot of remain gullible to the "evidence" of our religion along with bias kicking in.
But my argument doesn't even have to be that most believers are gullible, it simply has to be that some can believe primarily due to this factor. If some believe due to primarily this factor along with bias, then don't you think it's unfair rewarding them for belief and praising it, just because it happens to be the true religion, while others will believe in false religions for the same reason and be condemned?
A gullible person is a person who is ignorant, mostly. I'm sure a believer who has studied his/her own religion and theology will less likely to fit into this description of yours.
Only those who speak from the baseless words of others, like for example, a friend told me that he heard from someone that clapping your hands is haram. However, no such thing can be found in scripture nor in any related religious literature. He is gullible enough to state and even further defend this position, due to his ignorance of theology. So,you see, they go hand in hand.
