They may very well have that agenda. The problem is, who are you to decide when it's genuine stupidity, and when it's a nefarious political agenda. To reverse-engineer the Dawkins comparison, Creationists clearly have a political agenda (one which I consider very hateful indeed), should they too be banned from speaking their minds?

Also, this thread has totally degenerated into a feed-the-troll-athon. If Aurlito was in the slightest bit interested in the subject he'd have done the tiniest bit of research himself. He's not. He's just playing off this topic because he knows people get very emotional about it.
