[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love this. So now not only are religious folks ignorant to atheism, you also know more about religion than they do. [/quote]

Not more, no.  But likely just as much.[/quote]

Actually, research shows that on average, atheists [i]know[/i] more about religion than religious people do.

As noted above: https://www.pewforum.org/2010/09/28/u-s-religious-knowledge-survey/

"On average, Americans correctly answer 16 of the 32 religious knowledge questions on the survey by the Pew Research Center’s Forum on Religion & Public Life. Atheists and agnostics average 20.9 correct answers. Jews and Mormons do about as well, averaging 20.5 and 20.3 correct answers, respectively. Protestants as a whole average 16 correct answers; Catholics as a whole, 14.7. Atheists and agnostics, Jews and Mormons perform better than other groups on the survey even after controlling for differing levels of education".

Also, it should be clarified, that atheists know more facts about religion - which is what the pew study was measuring. They may or may not have more experience participating in religious activities.

I know some atheists who started studying religion when they became fed up with the restrictions that their religion required of them or when they noticed hypocrisy among their religious leaders.
