Line 5:
* [[Designated Villain|Designated Villains]]: The atheists and the government, by and large. While they do seem to want or condone (it's never really made clear which) the large scale murder of followers of any religion, the book points out that every religion except the author's was indeed the cause of World War 3, and since the book demonstrates that the zealots are willing and capable of destroying an entire city if there are enough of them to pray for it, their persecution becomes pretty much justified.
* [[Idiot Plot]]: Paul is a ''terrible'' secret agent, yet nobody is ever suspicious of him.
* [[Rooting for Thethe Empire]]: While pretty much everyone agrees that the persecution of religious folks in the series is pretty terrible, the Real True Christians™ are quite often sanctimonious asses, and the technological and medical advancements of the "Atheistopia" are undeniably ''awesome.''
* [[Snark Bait]]
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: After [[World War III]], the UN decided that enough was enough and outlawed the biggest instigator of conflict in the world, religion, and ''it worked.'' Meanwhile, the Real True Christians claim that they weren't responsible for [[World War III]] and that they're just peaceful people who want a free exchange of ideas, but over and over they demonstrate that they have absolutely no qualms with torturing and killing anyone who believes differently than they do. [[What an Idiot!|And they wonder why atheists keep blaming religion for conflict!]]
