Maybe they are the final straw for some intellectuals to swing, but do you really think, any ordinary church goer even looks at their writings? The terminology they're using isn't exactly catered to the masses.
I don't think they are writing for "ordinary church goers" at all. For one thing, they use too many big words. Yes, there is a bit of 'preaching to the choir' to borrow the metaphor that religious assholes have used for millennia to keep their sheep in a nice tight little pack.
