This furthers the stereotype that most Christians don't know anything about the bible, break most of their own rules, and are essentially adlepated simpletons.

The only Christian I know who has been able to demonstrate he knows Christianity better than I do is my dad, a pastor. Every time I've ever, ever been approached by a Christian who wants to talk religion, I end up having to explain things to them citing scripture.
Being an outspoken atheist in America practically requires a strong knowledge of Christianity. It's why I know "Shibboleth".
Edit: to clarify, there are probably a lot of Christians who are more knowledgeable of the Bible than I am, but they aren't ever the ones who want to start conversations about religion.

"True" Christian? Who's to say what a true Christian might be? What if Fred Phelps was a true Christian in the eyes of god? I couldn't say because I've never spoken or otherwise communicated with god.
