and people would have commented that someone was in need of mental help. Even the religious who saw such comments as outside the realm of how they see their religion.

That still happens to some degree, but more and more people will defend that line of er...reasoning...simply because they have become so tetchy about their own religion, having bought into the ridiculous lie that religion is under attack.

It's gotten to be more acceptable to defend, excuse, and even embrace the fantastical than to call it out for what it is - pure ignorance.
