What is even more galling is that these fakes are protected by the
constitution. If you tried a similar trick in a secular setting, you could
be charged with fraud quite easily.

I have no doubt that most of them know that they are fakes. (You can't tell
me that Popoff didn't realise he had a radio receiver stuck in his ear).
This makes them no better than the fast-talking swindlers who bilk old
people out of their life savings. They should be held accountable in
exactly the same way.

If only we atheists didn't have such a high moral standard. Maybe we too
could bilk the suckers for all they are worth, and sing hymns all the way
to the bank.
