When someone excludes relevant information that undermines their position, it is called the fallacy of exclusion. You've done as much by drawing a circle around the theists of this forum, such that they are excluded from the rest of Christianity, allowing your stereotypes to persist.
John Bunyan in the 1600s; E.G. White in the 1800s; C.S. Lewis in the 1900s; and me in the 2020; these are bits of data that when accounted for decrease the accuracy of your words and increase the accuracy of mine.
The faith/trust you place on chairs when you sit on them, is of the same kind that parted the Jordan when Israel stepped foot on it's shores. Nothing changed except for what the proposition entailed and who the proposer was.
