Are all fundamentalists stupid?

Religion can give people hope and strength. Something to hold on to when everything seems to fall apart. And that's nice.

It could be the believe in a goddess of the trees, a god of the river, an animal spirit, one of the current traditional gods like Allah, Jahweh or, you know, God. But also the believe you own something that's the best ever because it has a silver apple on it, can comfort people.

Nothing wrong with that. But there ís something wrong with religious zealots: they are stupid.

It's okay to believe and it's okay to be stupid. 

Faith only becomes dangerous when it drives people too far and they become fundamentalists, easily steered by people who don't mean well. Not for the human race, anyway. They just want more money and power for a small group: themselves and their closest minions. 

So demagogues turned faiths and believes into religions and the flock started to kill eachother over land and camels. Camels? Yes, camels.
