That's I bit ironic, IMO. Deuteronomy is where many of the most socially progressive laws are found, and much of the most forward Biblical theology in the Torah. I would've thought Leviticus a much likelier target for animus against the Hebrew Scriptures, since that has so many of the sexual prohibitions, anti-idolatry prohibitions, and cultic sacrificial rules that dislikers of the Bible usually find so problematic.
