What I've noticed is that theists are invariably well-read on theology, and can intelligently articulate the arguments for belief in God without exception. It's only atheists that have no real grasp on why they think as they do; it's quite perplexing to me how this could be so. Seriously, have you ever met a theist who couldn't explain an example of an ontological argument for God? I know I haven't.
