I think their statement about Dawkins’ apparently having never opened a Bible was in regard to his theological understanding, not historical.
Having read Dawkins, my primary critique of him overall is that he regularly demonstrates a willful ignorance as to what religious people actually believe. He’s content to attack straw men and not the propositional truth claims at the heart of religious belief.
However your previous remark about Richard Dawkins opening up a Bible is a bit worrying.
It is obvious that the missing historical information is not in the Bible, and that remark can be interpreted a bit like the point of view of Jehovah witnesses, that all you need to read is the Bible.
