The cardinal doctrine of a fanatic's creed is that his enemies are the enemies of God. -Andrew Dickson White, diplomat, historian, and educator (1832-1918)
The fanatic's creed is that his enemies are the enemies of Truth. Belief in God is not the sine qua non of fanaticism. History's bloodiest dictatorship was an officially atheist state.
Closer to home, I am reminded of evolutionists, hellbent on putting the kibosh to creationism, who enlist State Departments of Education in campaigns to padlock "unlicensed" schools and harass home schoolers. Remarkably, these Darwinian jihadists fancy themselves open-minded.
