I said 'Fundimentalist' as in people taught to legitimately believe everything in the bible/scripture is to be taken literally and everything that is evidence against the stories being true is actually lies and deceptions of the devils doing. Perhaps fundamentalist is technically the wrong word for them but thats whst comes to my mind.

I have spoken to enough Christians to know that there exist both rational people willing to accept their scripture may have some symbolic metaphor and I've spoken to batshit insane zelots who warp their subjective reality to match whatever they are told to believe and reject all evidence otherwise. I've encountered the latter more often than you might like to think. Even if they are not the majority there is enough of them to do serious damage. I would be interested to see some statistical numbers based on polls if you have the sauce on that.

There are many angry, hate filled, unquestioning people who use religion as a means to an end. Im not just talking about any one religion either, its not about that. A mixture of poverty, mental illness, cognitive dissonance, and cult like brainwashing tactics will get you the kind of person willing to burn everything to the ground. They want nothing more than to kill everyone and everything that doesnt agree with them in the name of god. If you know where to look you will whole communities of them. They exist.
