You obviously have an irrational fear of religion.

No, I don't fear religion. I am quite rational.

However, my hackles get raised when the call for how to live my life is dictated by some fundamentalist teetering on the far right edge of the political spectrum. I equate those as the same as the anarchists teetering on the left edge. I like this country the way it is. I live my life as I see fit. I practice my religion as I want and I do not wear it on my sleeve. Nor do I force-feed it to all within shouting distance.

Actually, it sounds like you and I are very much the same in many ways. But you missed my point. The loud, high profile fundamentalist Christian publically berating society for sin (Falwell, Robertson, etc.) are not the enemy. They won't kill you or try to conquer you to change this country. The Islamicists will. They believe in conversion by force, ultimately by your death.
