They mean different things.

One is not "better" than the other.

The first means she is not informed about his religion and she talks about it, likely saying incorrect things, he is offended.
The seconds means that she is saying that his religion consistently demonstrates ignorance. In this version, she may be well-informed about the religion. In the first, she is not.
