Central Thesis
Coulter argues that liberalism rejects the idea of God and reviles people of faith, yet bears all the attributes of a religion itself. Coulter argues that the tenets of the liberal "church" are:
- Creation myths (the theory of evolution)
- Sacraments - Coulter compares abortion to "virgin sacrifice"
- Holy Writ (Roe v. Wade)
- Martyrs (from Alger Hiss to Mumia Abu-Jamal)
- Clergy (public school teachers)
- Place of worship (government schools, where Coulter claims that prayer is prohibited but condoms are free)
- Doctrine of infallibility (as manifest in the "absolute moral authority" of spokespeople from Cindy Sheehan to Max Cleland)
- Cosmology (The Big Bang Theory, by which Coulter concludes that mankind is an inconsequential accident)

Famous quotes containing the words central and/or thesis:
“The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Some have said that the thesis [of indeterminacy] is a consequence of my behaviorism. Some have said that it is a reductio ad absurdum of my behaviorism. I disagree with this second point, but I agree with the first. I hold further that the behaviorism approach is mandatory. In psychology one may or may not be a behaviorist, but in linguistics one has no choice.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
