Refer to atheists as "fundamentalists atheists". Then it happens in articles and all over the blog-o-sphere. Trash gnostic christianity (because of the Davinci Code). Then you see articles trashing a long dead sect of christianity. (Many of the things they say about gnosticism happen to be lies as well). Attack secularists with imprecatory black magick. Then you find stuff all over the internet on how to pray for the death of secularists and Supreme Court justices. Now I see their is a call to invest a lot of money into more apologists to pollute the blog-o-sphere. Also, they supply talking points on effective lies to tell. My question is: how good does this job pay? Calls fo out from the church.

The same may be said about the books of the "unholy trinity" of Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris, to say nothing of other like-minded devout atheist authors. It should be glaringly obvious from their written and spoken words that Richard Dawkins and other (dare I say it?) *evangelical* fundamentalist athiests like him are in fact attempting to completely devalue religion. In Richard Dawkins' and other fundamentalist atheists' narrow-minds religion itself is most certainly the enemy and they are on an all-out "crusade" against religion. Richard Dawkins has written in 'The God Delusion', "I am not attacking any particular version of God or gods. I am attacking God, all gods, anything and everything supernatural, wherever and whenever they have been or will be invented." :In plain English: evangelicalism is the enemy! Evangelicalism is, in fact, at least as I see it, the very antithesis of what America is all about! Tell that to Richard Dawkins and his fellow *evangelical* fundamentalist atheist colleagues and allies. . .
