I can't speak for the original commenter, but I would definitely have similar concerns about an article called "Evangelical Christianity Is A Welter of Lies, Hypocrisy, and Eugenic Fantasies". If you're trying to impartially inform people about what's going on in a particular movement, or argumentatively convince people sympathetic to the movement that they're wrong about it, it doesn't seem like a helpful framing. (It is, of course, a great framing if your goal is to dunk on people your readers don't like.)
