Not my experience at all. Atheists THINK they know a lot about religion but don't.

so much this. I had an atheist friend that thought she was really showing those Christians how silly their religion was by pointing out that Jesus got put to death. She had no idea how big a part of Christian doctrine it is that Jesus went willingly to his death as a sacrifice on behalf of humankind; she simply assumed that any true Son of God would use supernatural power to overcome any earthly opposition ... and that no one else in 2,000 years had noticed this discrepancy before she came along.

She's still technically right; he was put to death. He took it willingly and gracefully, but yes, he was in fact executed. Personally, I think it's silly because I don't see how one particular guy suffering and dying is supposed to make up for all the horrible things people did to each other at that time (and are still doing today). Nobody has ever been able to explain that part to me in a way that isn't a wordier version of "because God said so."

In my experience, it's the staunchest of believers who know the least about their own religion, for one reason: they have far too much trust in their clerics, and thus don't bother fact-checking what they hear against what their scripture actually says.
