The single strongest case for atheism ever made?

8. My experience with many religious people is they believe they are following the facts

You can find many books that purport to prove that the Bible is accurate and Jesus rose from the dead. They are often written by people who themselves truly believe in what they are writing and provide more information than an average can gather on their own. They are not being asked to believe in faith, they are being asked to believe in poor scholarship and lack the ability or inclination to distinguish good scholarship from bad. Most people have limited ability to critically examine information.
