Judith Warner misses the point a bit I think, in the New York Times. If you believe, as the modern Christian fundamentalists do, that the truth is made available by revelation and not from empirical data and reasoning, you are not persuadable by any amount of facts.
Although it's not beyond controversy, there is certainly evidence that many of the Founding Fathers of America were deists or had similar beliefs that would be anathema to today's prominent crop of Christian mullahs. Strange that these same ignoramuses like to appeal to the Constitution and the Founding Fathers when they appear to know so little of either.
But then, as I said, to these bozos facts just don't matter.
