No it's not. Reserach into religion is as vital for public enlightenment as research into crime is vital for public security.

That's like saying the criminal shouldn't be too picky about what crime he commits, so long as he commits some crime and does so in depth.
That's true if your are more interested in being criminal than to benefit from any crime. You want to be bad for badness' sake, and not as a means to some other end. Somehow that is not surprising coming from Wooters.
Some religious idiots like GC and Drich iseems to be after the comfort of some specific dilusion. Wooters is just enemored with the general idea of being diluded.
