The Shankaracharya order, of course, is hardly "an obscure religious sect." And as Vaj points out, the issue is much less a matter of which deity is worshiped as it is of basic principles and organizational style--roughly akin to the difference between Protestant and Catholic in that regard. In other words, in his anxiety to come up with a putdown, Barry once again trips over his ignorance.
