I agree with you. In these specific instances you speak of it is true that the role of religion in society is crossing into borders it really shouldn't. And it is a shame that it happens to be christians that are doing this in your counrty. Albeit right wing christians with loud voices. I suppose that it is very difficult to watch from an outsider looking in, to see a country being so dictated to by it's religious background, even when the so called 'seperation of church and state' should be in place, it quite clearly isn't.
In these specific instances, religion is getting a bad name. And ultimately I think that that is tragic, because all the good things that religion does within society get overlooked. And your dictionary definition of fundamentalist is of course correct. I merely suggest that there are groups of atheists who look down on those with faith as being somehow ignorant or a bit simple, simply because they don't share views. I believe that religion should serve mankind, not the other way round. Regards FTM
