Half are brainwashed, but the other half are just really thick. They actually think the Bible is real, and even when you point out that even the church doesn’t claim that every aspect of the bible is real and that quite a lot of it was written either after the fact (as in centuries later), or was always just a story to serve as a theoretical example, they don’t believe you. So they don’t actually understand their own religion.
