Any forcing of ideals is wrong, and in Christianities case, explicitly un Christian. Christianity can never be fact... otherwise it destroys itself and you'd be happy. Christianity has to be up for question to be internally consistent. Hitchikers' Guide is just a hell of a lot more shallow and humorous.
Actually fundamentalism like Creationism is a tough on in the US. It is not a majority, but it's significant and most definitely not tiny.

40% is not tiny, and if you believe creationism is true, it's not a big leap to assume you find the rest of the book completely accurate.
