Evangelical ists 99.9% alike.. with one enormous difference

I have observed both evangelical ists (atheist and theist)  pleading their cases and recruiting for their respective teams. One day, today actually, something most peculiar occurred to me about these two warring chaps. I’ve noticed they both employ the same tactic to garner allegiance for their respective armies. That is, they both attempt to get their audience focused strictly on the darkest, most deplorable of their enemy’s behavior so they can then present their own belief as the brightest, most antithetical alternative.
