I don't find that MY secular and rationalist colleagues venerate him to near-idolatrous levels. Perhaps you are associating with colleagues that prefer to make simplified arguments rather than get into the details themselves.
As to the threat of getting banned, the biggest error you seem to have made is not in characterizing a celebrity as having human foibles, but rather in collectively dissing a large group of our members.
