Most atheists are supporting Kagin, not because they're all crazy "fundamentalists," but because he was drawn as a crazy man with crazy rituals. For example, the de-baptisms are not a common practice, it's something they did a couple times during an event that was about freedom of choice. It was a symbol of having something that they never agreed to undone. I agree that creating a straw-man is one of the easiest ways to attack someone, and that's exactly what happened here. Nightline chose the footage that would get them the most ratings, and they succeeded. Moral of the story: don't believe the media, because they always have an agenda :) That’s one video that has been making the rounds on the atheist’s blogs as well, but not in the way you think.
