Nichols points out fundamentalists want believers not thinkers, and goes on to argue effectively that this is largely due to the fundamentalist notion of atonement.
Nichol's assertion, there is no scientific evidence to support the notion that increasing cultural tolerance would result in the gay/lesbian population ever exceeding the 3-6% range.
Nichols successfully, in my opinion, tears apart the arguments of the fundamentalists, by stating each of their claims and then argues why they are invalid.

 Emanuel Levy : Interview - Wolf: Mike Nichols and Jack Nicholson on the Horror Movie
Every film made by Mike Nichols, the Oscar-winner director of such Hollywood classics as The Graduate, Silkwood, and Working Girl, is a major media event, especially if it stars Jack Nicholson, a two-time Oscar winner (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Terms of Endearment) and the most accomplished actor of his generation.
It's a metaphor for the experience of becoming different from everyone else and leaving humanity behind, which is a kind of nightmare that happens to people in the middle of their lives." Thematically, Wolf is concerned with male menopause--professional and sexual anxieties that men experience in what is known as middle-life crisis.
Nichols emphasizes the issues of awakening, empowerment, and coming to terms with the unconscious as central to the film.
