"Ron Millar, one of Silverman's fellow secular activists, agrees. He says two factors provoked American non-believers to stand up in recent years: the political rise of the religious right, which tends to comprise people interested in telling others how they should live their lives; and the publication of a slew of agnostic and atheistic books, including Hitchens's."

I have to agree that the behavior of the religous right leaves a foul taste in the mouth. It causes people to reevaluate their own beliefs and faith... by their example, who wants to belong to that club? These are some of the most unforgiving people on the planet.

Evangelical preachers are also contributing to the demise of established religion. God said " My words are not your words; my thoughts are not your thoughts." Iow, we cannot even comprehend the true nature of God, yet we have these loud mouthed evangelical types proclaiming to be experts on God and WHAT GOD WANTS!! It is beyond belief.
