That's not a defense of Dan Brown, it just means he has poor taste in kooks. There is crazy awesome and there is crazy boring, and even Garth Ennis couldn't make the grail stuff fun when he used it in Preacher. Now, give me novel about Dion Fortune, Ian Flemming and Aleister Crowley summoning King Arthur on the white cliffs of Dover to stop Operation Sea Lion and I'll forgive all sorts of awkward prose.
