One wonders what victorious New Atheism might tell lies about if ever some day they eventually rule the world. And what do we then make of the so-called Higher Criticism/Historical Method?

I don't think it's necessary to exaggerate the crimes of the religious. However, it's quite possible that, in this scenario, the negatives of religion will be more accentuated in history texts.
