Hence the claim that "Religious fundamentalism is modern society's largest threat" is at best ignorant or naive, and at worst a dangerous lie.

It proves just the opposite, LocoWit.

Fundamentalists see no division between  church, state or God's will. They would crush us all to enforce or compel adherence to God's will. Our own Fundies are probably worse because they at least have had an opportunity to benefit from education, progress, or some freedoms 2nd and 3rd world people will never enjoy.

Just keep on ignoring the facts:

Are you sure about that?  It's going to take a heck of a whole lot for religious fundamentalism to get even close to catching up to these modern society atheists:


Mao Zedong (1958 - 1960):  43,000,000 Murdered
- Peng Xizhe (彭希哲), "Demographic Consequences of the Great Leap Forward in China's Provinces," Population and Development Review 13, no. 4 (1987), 639-70.

Stalin (1937 -1938): 1,200,000 Murdered
- Soviet Repression Statistics: Some Comments by Historian Michael Ellman, 2002

Pol Pot (1975 -1979): 1,700,000 Murdered

Wrong. it's a problem everywhere, but for the sake of argument, even assuming your premise,  it's still inaccurate.

Even if you choose to turn a blind eye to the religious fundamentalism on this continent, you cannot argue that relgious fundamentalism from the middle east has and is having a profound impact on your country, it's laws, and your way of life.

Wrong.  Muslim fanatics have murdered American citizens, which has had a profound impact on my life.  Christianity benefits American society.

Kind of like muslims huh?   ;)

Kind of like paranoid anti-religious extremists.  Look in the mirror.  You "f-ing hate evangelicals."  You want religion forced underground.  You want to murder people who proselytize at your door.  That’s the kind of thing I’m talking about.

That's not true.  Plenty of Christians (me included) believe in the church-state separation.

Keep on thinking the bombs dropped in Iraq and Afghanistan were smart enough to tell fanatics and spare civilians if it helps. :)

Modern culture, today, faces no bigger threat than religious fundamentalism.

For the most part, yes they are smart enough.  We also have rules of engagement, which terrorists don't have.  We don't decapitate noncombatants.  We don't intentionally kill civilians.  Another difference between "us" and "them."  

Alarmist nonsense dude.  The biggest threats American modern culture faces are the expansion of the federal government, debt, and foreign terrorists who want us dead.

I think the continuation of our foreign policy is a pretty big danger, right up there with the rest of them.
I hate the State.
