>His own bizarre religion is regarded as just that by much of the mainstream and as heretical at best by the evangelical Christian rank and file.
Really? I mean, I haven't met a religion that doesn't have some bizarre to it, but really? Hitchens makes a good point, but personally, I find this piece a but too snide. It isn't written in a way that would change minds. IMHO, if you agree with him, you'll nod, and if you don't, you'll get defensive as hell. Bachmann and Perry are using their religion in a cynical way. That can be demonstrated; and, if you do so in a friendly way, it might even be agreed upon.
