The reaction to the book has spread to Mr. Aslan’s Amazon page: on The Atlantic Wire, Alexander Nazaryan pointed out that browsing through dozens of one-star reviews on Amazon revealed that “plenty of readers of what seems to be a fundamentalist/Evangelical persuasion are furious that a Muslim published a book about Christianity’s origins.”

His family is pretty much secular, not very religious. They just kind of call grandma on the holidays and maybe say they don't like to eat pork because they don't like it.
They moved here during the Iranian revolution and when Aslan turned 15 he announce that he was Evangelical christian to his parents because 15 years olds do the damnedest things when they are trying to fit in at school.
He goes off to Harvard where he discovers that all the Evangelical friends he had at home are morons and decides to go back to celebrating holidays with the family and calling grandma on holidays because they are paying his fucking bills while he is in school.
So in the case of the Amazon reviews, all the Evangelicals are tying to pull a Scientology on the guy.
