Impossible to beat an idea when so many believe in it

Communism has the support of huge numbers of people in the former soviet union, china, north korea, vietnam.

Evolution has the support of huge numbers of atheists worldwide.

Creationism has the support of huge numbers of religious people everywhere.

Malthus has the support of huge numbers of economists and politicians.

Hitler has the support of huge numbers of bigots.

Kinsey has the support of huge numbers of perverts, gays, lesbians, and anyone with an above-average sexual appetite.

Each group can publish its own list of "Most evil books of all time" but they might be different from each other. However, I doubt that their "Preferred reading" list would be the same either. I doubt also that people in one group will spend much time on another group's preferred reading list, even if those books are not considered evil by them. For example, christian fundamentalists often have bookshelves filled with books by Billy Graham, Hal Linsey, etc, and about 10 different versions of the bible, bible study notes. It's endless. They never read alternative views. Neither do any of the other groups listed above.
