The objective of all of this Chicken Little squawking is to convince us that the Constitution is falling -- that conservative Christians intend to abolish the Bill of Rights, outlaw sin and replace democracy with a theocratic state that will make Calvin’s Geneva look like Hugh Hefner’s bachelor party.
I must disagree with the author's conclusion, as I noted above. I wondered why supposedly educated people would write such tripe when, in our day and time, it could be so easily refuted. Plus, why would these books merit publication. Surely they are not overtly successful business ventures; that is make a lot of money. The author supplies the real reason such books are written and published.
Such sentiments are endlessly repeated as an article of faith by politicians, journalists and entertainers.
At some point in the future, these books will be referenced as insightful scholarly works and used as justification to deprive anyone identified as part of the "Religious Right" of their Constitutional rights, even disenfranchisement, or imprisonment/death.
This is why these books are being written and published.

Couple this with the scientific outcome of the schivo case that starvation is euphoric and the left will be justified in refusing to sell food to those of the religious right...
let them starve, they believe in a better place and will be better off...
