Dear Dr. Bock,
I fall into the third part of evangelicals who view Christian "hoo hah" response to politics in general and antagonistic secular attacks specifically, as overeaction. To a certain mindset, beyond doubt, this is damaging. Certain well supported Christian groups have made a name in this arena and are very unlikely to cease and desist. There must always be a "boogie man" to elicit a devoted following.
My response is: Get a grip brothers - atheism and the political mishandling of God's grace is not the enemy - it is the mission field. Read your Bible sometimes.
With regards,
Dave
