Bad Faith Awards

It's time, yet again, for the annual Bad Fairth Awards. The New Humanist holds this online poll to give the person who has "made the most outstanding contribution to the cause of unreason" in the past year a little something for their efforts. Last year, Sarah Palin swept the vote and the year before, Dinesh D'Souza claimed this prestigious prize. This year, the short list of contenders features everything from creationists, to chiropractors, apologists, and a pope (guess which one):

Adnan Oktar, aka Harun Yahya 99 (7%)
Anjem Choudary 73 (5%)
Anthony Bush 22 (1%)
British Chiropractic Association 209 (16%)
Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor 68 (5%)
Dermot Aherne 90 (7%)
Damian Thompson 67 (5%)
Pope Benedict XVI 418 (33%)
Terry Eagleton & Karen Armstrong 67 (5%)
Tony Blair 132 (10%)
