But the logic that one might use to say the Bible is evil is the same that these Conservatives are using to say that Marx's works for example are evil as far as I can tell.

Exactly.
They followed the words -- at least their interpretation of them, and did bad things.
The whole premise of this little list seems to be "if these books hadn't been written, this stuff wouldn't have happened". It's a pretty effing stupid approach, there is no doubt about that. Like, would we all believe the earth was 6000 years old if the Beagle had sunk in the harbor, taking Darwin down with it?
Another thing they failed to take into account -- the guys following the first book had a big role in defeating the guy who wrote the second book. My heavens, think of the consequences!
