IMHO, if the latter bit becomes a subtitle, it could get lost as several venues tend to omit subtitles or place them on a secondary line on the product page (such as you might see at Google Books), so your book would appear to be primarily negative to the casual browser, instead, and that doesn't seem to be the effect you want?

Thanks ATDrake. That is really a good suggestion about not letting the subtitle (and I did intend the 'why God is still great' to be a subtitle) kind of fall off from the title. I never even considered that something like that would occur.
