I'll kinda defend movieliker here. He did qualify it with "in my experience." I mentioned early on that it could be that he just hasn't encountered any atheists who were knowledgeable about religion. Of course, the fact that he then proceeded to state one false claim about Christianity that thor corrected him on, and another about Jesus and the Virgin being a parable that I corrected him on, probably indicates that he actually doesn't understand religion himself and is simply using "people who criticize me don't understand religion" to mean "if someone disagrees with me they must not understand religion." It's Arlon's Dunning-Kruger effect in another form. No. I probably encounter non believers who are knowledgeable about religion. But they don't question, complain, criticize or attack me for being a believer. My label only applies to those who attack me for being a believer. Well that's odd. What is it about those knowledgeable non-believers that makes them not attack you, and what it is about those ignorant non-believers that do? A cynic might suggest that the minute someone "attacks you" you simply categorize them as an ignorant non-believer.
