For all we know from what you've shown, these are the bottom 10% of Christian thinking; the rationality quotes, on the other hand, are avowedly picked from the top 10%.

Supposing there have been 2 billion Christians, all of the quotes are by authors who I would say are in the top .000002% of Christian thinking. (Criteria for selection was having a "2 per century" reputation.)
