I've made it myself several times. I also strongly disagree with your faulty logic that I or any other atheist is implying that a fundamentalist reading of the bible is "superior" to any other interpretation. My key argument has always been that there is nothing in the doctrine to say that ANYONE's reading of the bible is "more correct" than anyone else's. Fundamentalists have an equal claim to the one and only true interpretation of this text.
This leads me to the conclusion that it's highly dangerous to expose the stupid or the violent to this particular book, especially if you tell them that it's the word of -- or inspired by -- some supreme being.
