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)
