I was thinking the same thing. Not all people who believe in a god are scriptural literalists. Hell, even the Catholic Church admits Adam and Eve were fictional. No wonder people think atheists are arrogant, if so many among us assume that being a theist automatically makes one an idiot who can't distinguish mythology from history...

I don't think most theists give much thought to the whole thing. They believe because they were raised to, and maybe they go to church once or twice a year and some know just enough of the Bible to hate gay people. Most of the theists we have here, in spite of some being obviously educated, are indeed idiots who cannot distinguish mythology from history and believe in indetectible angels and lightspeed genies.
