It wouldn’t be a global catastrophe without the ne plus ultra of anti-theists servicing the believers with a bunker-buster of purple prose (deserved or not):
Bush seems sincerely to see the world as a battleground between Good and Evil, St Michael’s angels against the forces of Lucifer. We’re gonna smoke out the Amalekites, send a posse after the Midianites, smite them all and let God deal with their souls. Minds doped up on this kind of cod theology have a hard time distinguishing between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden.
England may not have a separation of Church and State, but you’ll never see someone unload like that in the American mainstream press. Dawkins makes Katha Pollit sound all sweetness and light.
