Carl Olson has discovered what appears to be the germ of an attempt to define religious belief as a mental illness. Might be interesting to write up a sci-fi (for lack of a better label) story based on that premise, assuming the deconstructionist psychobabble can resolve itself into police-state actions in a totalitarian democracy (see paragraph 20 of Evangelium Vitae; also see Canada).
A few breaths of the zeitgeist here, here, and here.
Update There's nothing new under the sun, of course - see John 10:20. Perhaps every persecution, insult and muttered gripe against Christ recorded in the Gospels is destined to be developed in its fullness in history.
