6. Brooks praise Christian thinkers? You don't have to be Christian to find wisdom in C.S. Lewis, Augustine, or Dorothy Day.

7. Brooks has gone to church? Many non-Christians do on occasion, out of friendliness to Christians or curiosity.

8. The friendliness that Brooks displays towards Christianity is more properly seen as an outgrowth of his identity as a neo-conservative.
