As far as Lawrence Wright is concerned...
He won the Pulitzer Prize and was nominated for the National Book Award. He's actually writes with a very sensitive hand about religion. He does a voluminous amount of research and had more than a few fact checkers. You don't have to like his conclusions but to call him a hack is not accurate, especially when you have not taken the time to read the damn book.
