"Even more, they learn there are more than two sides to many issues. That hurts our brand even more. It's so much easier when we can characterize everyone who disagrees with us as evil: us vs. them."
I don't see religious folk as being "evil", only misinformed. If you read the article, McDowell cites Age 12 as being the cut-off. Ergo, if the kid isn't brainwashed by that age, then they will never be.
