Matt Dillahunty claims to have been a southern baptist christian for 20 years and he was going to become a preacher or something. He just said he never evaluated his religious belief before. And when he did (by studying the bible more in order to become a preacher) he became disillusioned. I think we can all agree he is a very smart person but he just didn't evaluate his religion.
I know a muslim who denies human evolution despite being science major, we even sat through an evolution course together. I know christian science majors who know enough about their religion that they regularly preach to others.
Stupid or dishonest seem to be the obvious options.
