:I agree that the Lead seems at odds with the rest of the article. The conflict, as I see it, is that on the one hand we want to make referenced verifiable statements, but on the other hand, we don't want to give any credence to a crackpot theory that drives people away from scripture. I think we can accomplish both. There are plenty of articles on non-Christian and liberal topics -- Islam, Communism, etc.  Why not present E=mc^2 as a similar system of beliefs. Accurately parrot what a group of people say about matter and energy, but effectively bracket all the content with "liberals believe (_____)".  Then everything within those brackets can at least be the actual claptrap that liberals promote.

::From everything that I have read, social conservatives and political conservatives believe that E=mc² is true.  I understand that there is some controversy about general relativity, but I have never read any coherent source that explains how it "drives people away from scripture."  E=mc² is one of many beautiful facts about nature that support the idea of a creator; many people say that the development of the Atom bomb just in time to end World War II was God-inspired.  Please direct me to a serious source to the contrary, and I will take a look.  (A self-published book is not the type of reliable source that would convince me.)
