IMHO, an atheist who keeps speaking about atheism through whatever the media resources available to him is only as bad as a tele evangelist, the only thing is that he is advertising for a different product.

There's some truth in this (although I have expressed reservations on the specificities in regards to Dawkins' work - it's his line of study for decades now), except I don't see how it applies to filmmakers who cater to a largely theistic society. I know 'advertising for a different product' here especially throws a political connotation in regards to TN politics. Let's leave it at that..
