The thing is (IMO), I don't think America is in anywhere close to being full of extreme Christians and certainly not Fundamentalists. I mean I grew up in a Fundamental Baptist church in Rhode Island and I'm now in the home base of the Southern Baptists. However, neither I our very many people even around adhere to this radical view.

Sure, most Americans claim to believe in a God and call themselves Christians. But they certainly don't practice what they preach. Heck, in the last few elections, less than 40% of Born-Again Christians even bothered to vote!

Also, on any given Sunday morning, less than 30% of Americans are worshiping in any type of church, temple, or syngogue. Where do all the ruling fundamentalists fit into these numbers?
