I'm sorry to hear that. One can always learn more about God from others. Some of my best inspiration has come from atheists, agnostics, and deists.
One who doesn't get their nose out of the Bible is doomed to be reeking of the spiritual rot they will try to pass on to the people they refuse to learn from.
Those "bad" people (atheists, agnostics, and others) prevent powerful religions from acting on their theocratic pretensions. It allows people to choose among a wider range of worldviews. In parallel fashion, it seems obvious that the resurgence of religion in the world is not everywhere and always a good thing.
If one won't ever question their faith--and they never have any doubts--they are as far from the truth than the most hardened atheist.
