I take issue with the idea that the adventure "Boosting the Booster" contains "more evil religious conservatives." The main villain is a deluded freak of a bigot with super powers. The fact that he's a deluded bigot who thinks his powers come from God doesn't make him a "religious conservative" - it makes him a bigot with delusions. I take offense with the idea that bigotry==conservatism - very strong offense, actually. There's not really much else in the adventure that scream "RELIGIOUS CONSERVATIVE" at me either, its a fairly standard "stop the badguy from causing mass destruction" plot.

I also don't see much about "The Meek" that make them "religious conservatives". Religious, sure I'll grant that. But conservative? A group of people who are basically killers for God? There really isn't anything in their write-up that screams "conservative", only a strong religious streak which is part of what makes them interesting "villains". Most of the "religious conservatives" that I know are anti-killing in general (what some might term "pro-life"), and they often get very angry about the death penalty. I wouldn't associate a group of killers with folks like these.

What else in Green Ronin's stable makes you think that they have some kind of agenda against religious conservatives? I certainly haven't seen that in any of their work myself, though I haven't read many of their non-Mutants and Masterminds supplements lately.
