Why should Rabbi Haim Beliak worry?  Has he not heard from his local
evangelical atheists that all Abrahamic faiths, indeed all religions,
are equally worthless and perhaps even impious (cf.
<http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/pipermail/lbo-talk/Week-of-Mon-20070312/005157.html>),
whether or not they come with "end-of-world beliefs," whatever their
political impacts?  Surely that makes his no better than the kind he
is afraid of.  :->
