I don't understand; why do people defend things such as the confederate flag

[Amarok]

I'm pretty sure most murders here are not religiously motivated, but figured it was a matter of time before someone blamed religion in America for it.

Honestly, when I brought up religious fundamentalism, I chose it as possibly the clearest manifestation of a larger underlying problem: a sense that "I reject your reality and substitute my own" with an alarming vehemence and a strong desire to force that view on everyone else that it could seriously be taken for mental illness if the DSM didn't strictly proscribe diagnosing people with mental problems that were part and parcel of a larger culture.  I suppose Trump and the Stavrogins on the alt-right may be a bit clearer an example at this point, but I strongly suspect they might not have that long of a shelf life.

Love she only focused on the religious element of your comment . And totally got the concept backwards that the fundamentalism is as it usually is a symptom not the disease.

While ignoring the fact the diversity theory dose not work either as plenty of nations are diverse but are not killing fields
