It's definitely better. Its only downside is that it often cherry-picks the texts and mental-gymnasticizes in absurd ways. And it often protects fundamentalism. But that's only bad because fundamentalism is bad.
Fundamentalism itself is the real threat. Being fundamentalist about even the worst of holy techs is extremism. And extremism is dangerous.
