First off, we aren't devout atheists. You might want to explore some of threads clarifying the differences between atheism and agnosticism. Also, there are many agnostic Christians and even a few who label themselves atheist Christians. Literalism isn't the most interesting or insightful way of interpreting the Bible.

Many atheists and agnostics have studied the bible. If you really want to test how well you know the 'truth' of the bible, then I'd invite you to visit a forum like Richard Dawkins or Internet Infidels. There are many atheists/agnostics on those forums that are highly informed of the bible.

This forum is a little more laid back, but you'll get challenged even here. Of course, you're welcome to join in. However, if you want to fit in, then you probably shouldn't jump into preacher mode. It might be better to introduce yourself with some personal information about your life. There'll be plenty of time later to share/declare your beliefs.

So, what brings you here besides your evangelism?
