Do you still think that believers know more about religion than non-believers?

Obviously, anyone who truly studies the Bible and the Koran with honesty and integrity will come away not believing any of it. Only those who have been brainwashed and/or indoctrinated believe in such things.

Religion is for those who would have others tell them how they should act, think, and feel. Such people are not generally inclined to do much research of their own.

I have known for many years that the Bible was more widely read by non-believers than by church goers.

In most churches, reading the Bible is not a requirement, nor is studying the religion to make sure it is true. In many, the bulk may not even have a Bible.

I'm am a believer though, one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Most church doctrine is based on pagan mythology and not scripture.

The bible clearly states that as we move closer toward the end, there would be a falling away from the faith. So it's no wonder that atheists have more knowledge of various faiths and many who call themselves Christian do so only because they attend church on Christmas and Easter.

The bible also says there is a group called Philadelphia which remains faithful to the teaching of the bible. It is a very small group indeed.

There are many believers that have studied scripture and know the Word of God. They love it's precepts and find comfort in it's promises. That said, it has been said for years that one of the fastest growing religions is the Church of the Ignorant Brethren. Sadly there are too many born-again believers on their way to heaven (because they have trusted in Jesus, not because of any works they do) who are disobedient to the command to study. (2 Timothy 2:15)

Not true. They may know more facts out of the Bible, but that doesn't make what they think they know actually true. They learn many things from other atheists, but it's all biased and based on lies. If atheism were true, we wouldn't be able to know anything at all.

I'm an atheist and I agree. The more I learned, the more I realized it was a total crock. The believers hold on to the 3 or 4 verses they know from a book (written by a man no less) And they use these 3 verses to govern their entire lives. And the lives of their children.

We did no longer evolve from monkeys consistent with se, there have been creatures in our ancestry that, had they been alive immediately, we'd maximum probable consult with them as monkeys, however the monkeys that we see immediately are not the comparable creatures that we stepped forward from. there is mounds of information for no longer in user-friendly terms the transition of guy from a decrease primate, yet in addition the transitions of many modern-day creatures. the vast bang, is a speedy boost of area-time that exceeded off around 13.7 billion years in the past. there is likewise huge quantities of information for this. the vast bang must be the element at which the universe began, even nevertheless it may additionally be a element at which the universe went from a delicate state singularity, to the constantly changing universe that all of us understand immediately. we don't understand what the catalyst of the boost substitute into yet to anticipate it substitute into something is a mistake.

Mormons and Jewish people also scored highly

as an ex-mormon atheist, that makes me a frickin' genius

hey oldguy... the survey was conducted by the pew survey, a noted, respected and _religious_ survey organisation

Well I guess you caught on to our "act stupid" evangelizing. Making you all search the Scriptures,read God's Word and help spread The Gospel by mentioning faith in Y/A.

that really depends on the person but in general the non believer would know more i think.believers take it by faith for the most part and don't do research for themselves .they go by what their preacher deacon minister what ever they have,tells them the bible means.a non believer is looking for a logical reason to believe so has done research on many aspects of god .
