-- Do you mean a tendency to fanatical devotion?
In an era of small tribal governments, no doubt it does. -- But in the big brother government stage, -- where we are at now, -- it's practice allows, even promotes, -- movements like nazism, stalinism, & jihadism.
-- To my mind, fantacism isn't just a religious problem. -- It's a mindset of intolerance, a learned behaviour.
We have learn to teach constitutonal tolerance under law , which strangely enough, religions supposedly do. -- And are failing at, badly.
