I wasn't really referencing the article directly when I mentioned the Bush administration, but that's a good point. I just brought up the Bush era because that was the New Atheist's heyday and the last time when the existence of God was a hot button public discussion topic, as it was also the heyday of Islamic terrorism and Christian evangelicals. Nowadays when people try to push atheism too hard they just get called cringe Redditors, even though public religiosity in traditional religions have declined.
Neocons are pretty secular so the moralogian reference isn't inaccurate. But it's probably more compatible with Bush's evangelical Christian worldview than the distinction between moralogian and theologian makes it to be.
