They're a shill if they consistently promote the ideology of only one political spectrum while attacking/undermining the other and making a living doing it. That about describes Malkin to a tee. She's a "right-wing" shill because she consistently promotes right-wing ideology while attacking the left-wing. If she were doing the reverse she would be a left-wing shill, but then you wouldn't be posting her commentary here, would you?

And my point was that numerous people exist with all sorts of beliefs but that doesn't mean they have established foundations backing them up.

As you linked Malkin's commentary on Gore's global warming documentary to this point you really have me confused now. Are you suggesting global warming doesn't exist and comparing Gore's documentary on it to christianity? If so this seems kind of an absurd comparison to me. Whether you like Al Gore or not, global warming has been studied by actual scientists who seem to mostly agree that, if nothing else, the climate is changing and the globe is warming. The disagreement is mainly over the extent, the causes, and the consequences. That is quite a lot of different from a theological expert who is someone that knows everything to know about a single book and adept at rationalizing everything in the world that contradicts it. And who's evidence is impossible to observe or to measure.
