<p> <a href="http://www.patheos.com/community/slacktivist/">Fred Clark</a> comments on an article <a href="http://www.ethicsdaily.com/news.php?viewStory=17824">regarding the incongruous support among the Religious Right for <em>Atlas Shrugged</em></a>, a novel written by a woman who had nothing but withering scorn for Christianity.</p> <p> What made me laugh, though, was <a href="http://www.patheos.com/community/slacktivist/2011/05/05/theyre-spreading-blankets-on-the-beach/#comment-198080978">this comment</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Yeah, that&#39;s always been one thing that boggles me, that folks thinks you can hold a Bible in one hand and a copy of Atlas Shrugged in the other. It&#39;s like they want to hurry American Christianity into it&#39;s final resting place as The First Church of Kicking People When They&#39;re Down. They&#39;ve almost got Christ completely removed from their teachings, he&#39;s just the name on the letterhead you keep for tax purposes.</p>
