Of course, this assumes one is capable of critical thinking and has the capacity for doubt. It also assumes that one supports the idea of a separation between church and state.
We live at a time when this kind of legitimate information is literally at your fingertips, and you can confirm any of it with actual books. But, alas, that takes time, energy, and care. It's better to just follow your compulsions. Go, Tea Party!

We also, sadly, live in an age where what ever you want to be true can also easily be verified. Want to believe 9-11 was an inside job? There's a ton of web sites to verify your belief. Want to believe Ann Coulter is really a dude? No problem, just Google it. That too can be verified. Want to believe trickle down economics works? There's a whole TV network telling you how well it works and why it's fair.
