Probably because athiests tend to be curious about the world around them and actually spend time reading and studying things.
Oh, I see. Thiests tend to not be curious about the world? They do not read or study things? I strongly disagree and I think you should re-think the statement above suggesting it.

Why is it that us atheists generally seem to know a little more about the history of your own religious traditions?
I don't think this is the case, generally.

As a 'follower of history,' what would you say if someone put Jesus and the Apostle Paul at the top of his list, due to the way that their words have been used to justify war, genocide, and slavery through the ages?
Manipulation is a dangerous thing, isn't it Mr. Hambre.

Correct. There appears to be very little interest in matters of objective truth regarding the world. Or at the very least theists show little interest in PURSUING matters of objective truth through an effort of research.
How can you say that, Me asking questions and researching Methods of dating the Earth (Greenland Ice Cores Topic) disproves your point.

Sure, but nothing very heavy, including their own religious text, or more than that histories of their own religion.
You can't put a few examples of Christians in a box and expect to have truth about all Christians in their Entirety. It's absurd.
And how can you make assumptions about the thousands or Christians out there based on the so few that you have seen. (According to your view.)

Re: Jesus: Peace or a Sword?
Did you bother to read the verses surrounding the verse? Or did you see it from an Anti-Christian web page or the like? (BTW, I am not at all suggesting that you do not own and/or read the Bible.)

Re: Jesus: Peace or a Sword?
Ok, I agree, now seeing your intention I understand. Yes Jesus is not exempt from misinterpretation, same goes for Darwin.
Also if I were to say He was exempt from the idiocies of misinterpretation, my only support would exist in my opinion of His being God. So support truely doesn't exist at all.

Re: Jesus: Peace or a Sword?
Also, Darwin cannot be blamed for the Nazis actions, if his words were construed in that manner it is not him to blame.
