Bible Whines

"You didnt [sic] even read The Bible."
That's a short version of typical whines by defeated apologists.

He was incorrect. Most atheists have deconverted from religion and most know more about religion than most theists.

Who Knows What About Religion - Pew's religious knowledge survey. A sample:
"Overall, the three groups that perform best in this survey are atheists and agnostics (who get an average of 20.9 out of 32 questions right), Jews (20.5 questions right on average) and Mormons (20.3 questions right). Looked at another way, 27% of Jews, 22% of atheists and agnostics, and 20% of Mormons score in the top 10% of all respondents in overall number of correct answers to religious knowledge questions, getting at least 26 questions right." 
When challenged by atheists who know more about the Bible, theists retreat into a variety of defenses. The commonest are The Hypocritical Cherry-Picking Accusation, and the You Are Unable To Understand (read, agree with what I'm insisting) Because Your Heart Is Not Open to God.

They correctly infer that atheistic hearts are no longer open to god. Why? Application of critical thinking to a reading of the Bible eradicates blind belief in those who value truth and understanding.

I have personally observed (not a random sample, I admit) that atheists typically know more about comparative religion, factual biblical history, factual biblical archaeology, and unbiased biblical scholarship.  (Where "unbiased" refers to scholars from reputable academic institutions, not fundamentalist bible colleges.)
