I think that many unbelievers better understand the practice of cherishing relics than you imagine. Look at the cult of Elvis. Protestantism has got so dualistic that they have forgotten Paul once compared the human body with a temple. Luckily when Fundamentalists are not wearing their iconoclastic hats, they actually remember the doctrine of the Resurrection of the Dead.

What would gleefully waving a 50 AD full manuscript of Luke or Matthew make us? Goofy cultist - or believers with a solid, historical basis for their beliefs?

Your agenda (whatever it may be) is forcing you into an unbalanced, anti-historical position.
