That's true and theists also have the fundamental belief that there is a god so really the distinction is pointless (Arcanus is wrong).
Kyu
Exactly my point, well put.
If all atheists are fundamentalists because we all have one disbelief, then not just all theists, but every ideology, every ISM, is fundamentalist!, right? And since atheism isn't an ideology, it's just disbelief, then every non ideology is fundamentalist too! Not just atheism! So everyone is a fundamentalist! Someone who doesn't believe in the tooth fairy is a fundamentalist Atoothfairiest! There are uncountable things to disbelieve in, and we're all fundamentalist disbelievers in whatever those things are.
