Also, it looks like those who don't understand Kant are doomed to reinvent him haphazardly.

  Is that such a bad thing? It's like a framework: if it's not necessary to download a thousand pages of Kant in order to arrive at the correct conclusion, is it really all that important to get the rigorous version instead?

    It would however save many people a lot of time if they understood that logical reasoning cannot tell you facts about the world with are not already implied by the premises or definitions chosen. You cannot prove the existence of gravity or the platypus purely by logic. Neither can you prove the existence of "God", unless you define "God" in such a vague way that it doesn't tell you anything about reality.
