I can understand why you think they are ignorant. I post scripture and you see ignorance.
2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Ouch! You can’t make it any clearer than that.
