They don't take sources at face value...
Give a theist a text, let's say the Bible. Someone let's say a preacher will tell them that it's accurate and correct and they will believe it.
Give the same text to an atheist, they will research it, find out who wrote it, find out when it was written, check it against archeological evidence and other written sources to verify its accuracy, they will then make an opinion based on all available evidence

What makes anyone ignorant of anything? They simply have not yet discovered the truth, though many of them do so every year.

Atheists tend to hold a great deal more intellect than the average religious moron is why of course. They also face reality far better than believers tend to do.

Atheists think opposite to Christians because firstly atheists don't believe there is a God and He is THEIR Creator in heaven.
Secondly, atheists have not been born again and before we are born again of God, we are ALL born of the devil, we are ALL born dead in the sins of Adam and we are ALL born into Satan's kingdom of darkness. When we get born again of God, He delivers us OUT OF Satan's kingdom of darkness and translates us INTO the kingdom of the Son of His love (Colossians 1:13).
That's why atheists don't have pure or forgiving or comforting thoughts, but thoughts of suicide and death and deception etc., because they follow their father the Devil and He was a MURDERER from the beginning and the father of lies. (John 8:44).
The Devil is Satan and his only ministry is to STEAL, to KILL and to DESTROY folks, (John 10:10) so it's hardly surprising that his children (atheists who follow him instead of God) hear his whispers and think differently from us Christians who hear God's wonderful voice and follow after righteousness and peace and joy and forgiveness and love of our fellow brethren and those who are different and under-priviledged in the world.

Often it’s from expanding their curiosity, knowledge base and possibility. They’re often realists and academically inclined, defying theism.
