Eh. American Evangelicalism is a very different beast to Christianity in many other parts of the world (or even many other parts of the country, even amongst card carrying conservative figures). Tarring the entire religion with one particular brush is to overstate the position slightly I think.

All true, and he's openly said he's not a Christian, and has never had any truck with any so-called Christian 'virtues', but when you hear the evangelical lot talking, they'll argue all day long that he's a God-fearing paragon of holy righteousness. That, to me, is the most telling form of dishonesty in this - that they'll lie or otherwise wilfully obscure the truth (which is also a lie of sorts, and a breach of one of their commandments) to support him as long as he beats up the people they want him to beat up.
Which says a lot for what Christians actually are.
I'd have liked to see Harris refer in the debate to 'the women who've had your abortions' and really trigger the fucker.
