I seem to be writing short comments this morning myself, for which I apologize, but this is an absolutely terrible non-argument.  You have a thesis statement, an assertion of fact that is essentially irrelevant to that thesis, and then the assertion that, besides, it would be good if your thesis was wrong.<p>What you <i>actually meant to say</i> is &quot;if scholarly religious studies do undermine the great religions and lesser religions, all the better.&quot;  Which is fine, if that&#x27;s an assertion you&#x27;d like to share with us, but you&#x27;re not really all that interested in whether or not the article undermines religion;  not enough to actually have anything to say about it.
