Then why have Fundamentalist and Pentecostal denominations escaped this nonsense?

They were founded to escape that nonsense. Historically, the nonsense came first; fundamentalism started as a reaction to it.

My personal theory is that the high level of ritualism implies that religious truth is allegorical

I think that's a nonsensical theory.

Just a friendly reminder that when you publicly and sincerely apologize for your ethnic joke at the expense of rural American Fundamentalist Protestants I will again respond to your posts. Until then, I will continue to ignore you.

Just in case you have forgotten.
