Bias as in... if I see someone is trying to defend God, I know through experience they are going to produce a flawed argument. It is of the same level of certainty that a ball will drop when I release it. I'm happy to look at and dissect the argument of course.
So it's not so much bias, as a total lack of confidence in any such arguments being of any value. The day I see a good one, I'll change my stance.
Once you see a certain person put forward 5 terrible arguments say, or misunderstand the premise of what they are arguing about, then it's reasonable to stop listening to them completely, on that subject at least.
So as Parkers says, if it is bias, it's not irrational bias.
