A very good point, Joe. I don't think it is a smart move by those on the Left if Christians in the US were persuaded to support Trump, or ones in the UK to support May because they feel they are attacked by others of the Left. It does no good saying "you will not find Fry, Dawkins, Hitchens or me attacking or ridiculing people for holding irrational beliefs" - it's totally beside the point if people *feel* attacked. Your intention is secondary; how they feel is what influences their actions. So the consequences of what you say may be unintended or accidental, but you still have the responsibility, even if that means a Trump or a May has a bigger success than they deserve.

And no, that is not pleading for religions to be immune from criticism.
