Maybe but this is still a Christian country and I doubt very many Christians are running out to buy his books. Unfortunately.Completely wrong, did you just make that up? He was a devout Christian who wanted to read and understand the word of God. Only much later did he question his faith and it had nothing to do with textual criticisms (the study of the history and context of the Bible).He was looking for reasons not to believe which is why he studied textual criticisms (whatever that is) in graduate school and then made a career out of it.
He found he could sell books if he bashed Da Evul Xians.
That's because they're rubbish. People should only buy objective books on history, not screeds by angry deviants and neo-pagans.
