I'm sure the National Geographic Society will be putting out a special during Ramadan exposing the life of Mohammed, since those facts are definitely known. After all, these anti-religious hacks would want to debunk ALL religions, not just Christianity, right?

I think you're wrong. I think deep down the militant atheists see Christianity as the biggest threat to their materialistic world view. Look at how everyone and their mother tried to associate themselves with Jesus in order to gain legitimacy for their world-views. Look at the Gnostics (they attached themselves to Jesus so fast, the early Church was taken by surprise by it), look at Mani (the "Prophet" of Babylon), look at muhammed (the miracles ascribed to Jesus in the koran are stupendous, he easily could have left Jesus out of the koran in order to win Jewish converts but he didn't'), I can go on but what's the point? Christianity also has events/icons associated with it that are pretty hard to explain away even with the current advances in science : the Shroud of Turin (Jesus' burial cloth), Jesus' prophecy/curse about the Temple Mount (read ancient records - Pagan, Christian, AND Jewish about the hell that broke loose when the Jews tried to rebuild the Temple under the reign of Julian), and other events that elude me now. It's fear, that's why they "pick" on Christianity. Any other religion would have crumbled under the onslaught.
