I don't think the question is useful.
Our nation was FOUNDED on a "religious" principle - that our rights come from God and can't be taken away by men. Before, the king or the state was deemed to grant rights.
Abolitionists and civil rights leaders were deemed "religious fanatics" by many.
It's more useful to address the issues you disagree with rather than put forth a blanket criticism of religion.
Just my opinion.

2. Hillary can decorate with that lovely Golden Calf on the lawn in late December instead of that awful garish lit tree

6. Allow Saddim his mass graves at any cost, as well as letting our allies in China get rid of those pesky Christians.

9. Tell the world Bush and Rice and Cheney flew those planes into that building themselves so that gas prices could go up (or down) depending upon the most recent internet blog.
10. Bill Gates, the Bushes, Curt Schilling, George Souros, John Kerry, Evil Corporations, Big Medicene, Hollywood, Wal-Mart, etc all have toys I don't, so they should give everything to me because haven't I made this country great, and even if not... I just plain deserve them BECAUSE, well, I WANT THEM.

All I can say is... you haven't seen religious fanaticism. He isn't forcing his faith upon the entire nation, he's simply expressing it... free speech and religious tolerance in the first Amendment. And if you think that expressing your own religion is a way of being intolerent of other religions, and that following it makes you a fanatic, you need to check your reasoning. Is Bush condemning all the other religions? Is he saying Christianity is the only truth? Is he expressing not only his religion, but that he wants everyone else in his nation to believe in it?
...I would think logic should outdo subliminal message creativity, but alas, hate gets in the way of reasoning...
How about you come up with 10 quotes of Bush actually being a religious fanatic by answering my three questions with them? Then I might actually reconsider my opinion... if the quotes came from a sound source.

putting aside faith altogether, that's impossible to reason with a enthusiast. they won't supply an inch, because of the fact they only refuse to query their concept in any way, and besides will overlook approximately any remark that would not help them. you should assert there are extra followers for faith because of the fact of religion's magnitude. It has this style of carry on humanity that that's easy to slide right into a kind of unthinking devotion devoid of understanding it. concepts you, that's ideal purely to the followers.

Let's start with President Bush.
Then add Vice-President Dick Cheney.
Add Department of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
Follow that up with:
Department of State Secretary Condoleezza Rice,
Department of Justice Attorney General Alberto Gonzales,
Department of Energy Secretary Samuel W. Bodman...
You get the idea.
