I notice people often accuse other religions of being a certain way or believing a certain thing, then a member of that faith says something completely different. Why wouldn't people believe the one following the faith or why would they believe the one not of that faith?

You can study something but never truly understand it. You can be a therapist but never truly understand why a person is a certain way. Science is basic theory and nothing else. You can't PROVE everything.

People who study plantlife may not be shrubs, but I'm sure they know how they work.

For the most part, the faithful in religion are ignorant of the theology of that religion. They practise a "what I want to believe stirred with what my peers believe and salted with I want to learn more...someday." Thus if A tells people about B, they are most likely equally ignorant of their own faith.
People believe certainty. If you can speak w/ certainty, you will persuade most people. Cf. Lincoln's famous line about fooling people.

Test them. I am usually more than happy to discuss what I know with anyone.

I think that you can know *of* a thing, without *being* that thing. You can know what serial killers think like, without being one. You can know what messianic jews think like, without being one. Etc.
Blessings!
