Because he is the evangelical rights' #1 apologist! Simply put, he is way too important not to ignore.
Most theists have no idea who he is.
And more importantly, the vast majority of philosophers don't either. Even theist philosophers.
His name may be a little more recognizable recently than it was, but that is only because atheists have given him WAY more attention than he deserves.

Go Irish!!
P.S. I'll post the Craig/Came debate here soon.
I'll probably regret this, but what argument did you think Michael Nugent had that was successful (Craig didn't have an answer for)? Give timestamp so we can follow along.
The fact that Craig may have an 'answer' for one of Nugent's arguments, does not mean that it was not a fallacious answer.
The fact that all Craig's arguments are fallacious, does not help the case you may be trying to build.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
