It is good that this debate is happening. Richard's point is revolutionary to a lot of people. "ridicule religion" - a novel idea to them. And it is actually the only reasonable approach to take in a political culture where religion is omnipresent.
But people aren't used to the idea, so of course, they will need to question it. I think it's good they do and that they have people like Richard answering their questions. To my mind it's nothing less than a revolution he is asking for. But that revolution is long overdue.
Thumbs up to the lady from the Washington Post, too.
