They don't perform any research on the topic, they gather no actual data on the topic, and they're not atheists themselves.

他們沒有對這個話題進行任何研究，也沒有收集任何相關的實際數據，他們自己也不是無神論者。

That should be enough for us not to take what they have to say about the topic any more seriously than a layperson.

這就足以讓我們不要比普通人更認真地看待他們對這個話題的看法。

But I'll go even further and say that their statements on the subject should actually be considered dubious.

但我要更進一步說，他們在這個問題上的說法實際上應該被認為是可疑的。

Those with education and careers centered around promoting a faith often receive education which includes anti-atheist ideas from institutions which were founded on belief systems which uphold that those outside their faith, including atheists, are morally bankrupt.

那些以宣傳信仰為中心接受教育和從事職業的人，往往會從一些機構接受包括反無神論思想在內的教育，而這些機構是建立在維護信仰體系的基礎上的，這些體系認為信仰之外的人，包括無神論者，都是道德淪喪的。

Religious apologetics and certain theological schools are often institutions of devotion in which students enter with a conclusion in mind and are given information meant to reinforce that conclusion.

宗教辯護和某些神學學校往往是虔誠的機構，學生在進入這些學校時就已經有了結論，而學校提供的資訊也是為了強化這一結論。

They are not the same as educational institutions of academic scholarship in which conclusions are meant to be reached only after data is gathered.

它們與學術性的教育機構不同，後者只有在收集數據後才能得出結論。
