"Reli gious fun da men tal ism is dan ger ous because it can not accept ambi gu i ty and diver si ty and is there fore inher ent ly intol er ant. Such intol er ance, in the name of virtue, is ruth less and uses polit i cal power to destroy what it can not con vert. It is dan ger ous, espe cial ly in Amer i ca, because it is anti-democratic and is sus pi cious of 'the other,' in what ev er form that 'other' might appear. To main tain itself, fun da men tal ism must always define 'the other' as deviant."
