And I note that such Southerners never seem to be offended by transubstantiation or the aboriginal dreamtime or the Greek Orthodox "miracle of the holy fire." Those beliefs are accorded full respect. Genesis alone is attacked because Genesis is "the redneck book."

You're overwhelmed with paranoia. I assure that if "aboriginal dreamtime" were construed as suggesting a chronology and sequence of earth history that contradicted the meticulously accumulated knowledge of professional geology, and if some group insisted that "dreamtime" science be included in textbooks and curricula as an "alternative" to conventional geology, the reaction would be EXACTLY the same.

What? You'd force your parocial, Western, European worldview on INDIGENOUS PIPPLES whose view is just as valid and receives the approbation of otherwise atheist Marxists everywhere? I thought one atheistic criticism of chr*stianity was that it altered and adulterated the native religious beliefs of "indigenous pipples" (which atheists, supposedly, would have preserved pristine and undefiled).
