Seems even-handed enough. But alas, the lack of editorial accuracy reveals itself early on:

Quote:

A generation ago, most Americans would have recognized Madalyn Murray O'Hair--"the most hated woman in America," according to Life magazine. O'Hair was a leader in the school-prayer battles of the early 1960s, and a plaintiff in the 1963 Supreme Court case, Murray v. Curlett, that resulted in prayer being banned in America's public schools.

{emphasis mine}

*sigh*

Philosoft, thanks for catching that. I read right over that without noticing. You are right... that quote is a lamentable error.
