"The non-faithful should fully acknowledge that a person expressing faith, who may be willfully ignorant (by definition) as a symptom, is not necessarily otherwise cognitively challenged."

I willfully ignore the concept of 'god(s)'.
It is a meaningless and vacuous concept, one that does not warrant any serious consideration.
