Spreading faith by denying its power

I'm still dismayed by the whole "Intelligent Design" kerfuffle, even though I think it's largely a political distraction to issues that matter more. This is the latest good piece I've read on the subject, from the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Trying to advance the cause of faith by dishonestly disguising it as science does a profound injustice to both. But the greater harm is to religion. If you are trying to spread faith by denying its power, something's wrong.
