I think it has more to do with his maniacal view of christianity and his own role in it than any view of realities on the ground.
Even Christians should know the Bible can be easily twisted take the Catholic church for instance, the idea of a pope has little biblical bases but yet a huge number of Christians that have free access to the Bible think he is god's representative on earth. Just the fact there are over 30000 denominations should show you the bible is anything but clear.
Also drich you assume they won't dismiss it out of hand like you would a Quran, and there is no reason to think that.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
