There will always be extremes on both sides.

I don't put too much stock in any of these sorts of things. Anyone who lumps a whole group together based on the extremes of one group is difficult for me to want to spend my time on.

very informative read.

I only wish some folks weren't so afraid of cognitive dissonance that they ignore the evil done in their names.

I didn't see anyone lumping any group together. The book specifically targets the religious right. Seeing how many people on this forum alone believe that the US was founded on biblical principles, I'd say that such views aren't as extreme as you might think. Furthermore, knowing what extremists are up to - any extremists - is hardly a waste of time.
