So basically what you're saying is that their thesis is:
I don't REALLY believe this stuff, but I believe that this belief can be used as a weapon against those that I hate.
That's actually a perfectly good reason why we SHOULD create problems for religious belief and challenge it critically. Imagine how effective bigots such as WBC would actually be if they didn't have religion to wield as a weapon against the masses?
It's kind of hard for any rational person to take hate speech seriously if there's no window dressing for it. However, I'm thinking it's ad hominem to say the WBC don't believe because they're rich or privileged.
