Wow...the msm has finally decided to pay serious attention to faith in America huh?
Flannery O'Connor wrote a great story about an athiest who starts "The Church Without Christ." That wouldn't even work as fiction today. Some crank does essentially the same thing, and he's the star of the LA Times.
Then again, my local rag plastered the "Religion" section with Davinci Hoax hype for weeks, so what else is new.
