That may not be correct, but it is what most non-fundamentalists consider fundamentalist.

And, "Why do the nations believe a vain thing?"

Right or wrong isn't the issue.
We are talking about those the author refers to as fundamentalists, not to whoever 'really' is a fundamentalist.
Any opinion you have of the article or of the arthor is flawed if you fail to understand what he means by the term fundamentalist.

It doesn't take more than a scan of this article to beg to differ. My opinion is that the use of the word "fundamentalist" as a perjorative is meaningless at best, or graver, that the author mistakes being given to belief (even true belief) over what we may "purely" reason out is an evil.
