Depending on how you define atheism, that's like saying you have to know all about Buddhism in order to choose not to be a Buddhist.
The way I see it, not believing in something is a more natural stance. It is possible to neither believe nor disbelieve in something, e.g., if it is something of which you have never heard. In that case, you do not believe.
If you want to have a well-informed lack of belief/disbelief, then I would think it would be easier to find a couple of Christians and have them explain the most important parts.
Is it normal to be an atheist but read the bible?
