While some of the criticisms are worth considering, it's what I'd expect from a secular humanist trying to play the "gotcha" card, using the Bible--the word 'maladroit' comes to mind--and his own conception of Christianity in general. Just citing the Klan--one of the old bogeyman caricatures of the Right--is illustrative of just how out of touch mainstream media writers really are. In point of fact, the only thing the Klan is doing these days is putting a lot of money behind Ron Paul on a train to nowhere.

One needs to bear in mind the folks such as the Washington Post author view the Bible as a useful piece of idiocy by which one learns to be "nice" to others and use confiscated wealth for a personal sense of moral satisfaction.

It also amazes me how people how hate Christianity, and probably think that Job is in the New Testament (like Howard Dean), think that they are biblical scholars in terms of what Christianity supposedly teaches on social policy matters. Their ignorance and hatred portends bad times for our country’s future.

Have you ever read Isaac Asimov's "The Feeling of Power?"

Here's a guess. Mom wanted him to be a doctor or a lawyer. He was too stupid to be either of those and ended up in the academic slums, journalism school. But he was a loyal Democrat, so the Washington Pest hired him. Mom never lets him forget how much he disappointed her.
