Should people of faith separate themselves from "fundamentalists"?

Question

Here's where I'm going with this:

Everyone has different "fundamental" beliefs...
Some are fundamentally racist, antisemetic, homophobic and hateful.
Some people are fundamentally incapable of caring about the environment or other people.

Maybe it's time for American people of faith to withdraw their support from politics and keep their faiths personal and valid. And not let politicians destroy our goodness by attaching it to their unpopular and selfish ideas.

Answer 1

Absolutely. Point well taken.

Answer 2

I understand what you're trying to say and I agree that people are going over the top with some of the political views out there but I think you phrased the question completely wrong.
If I were to answer your question, I would have to say that the answer, at least in my case, is no. I am a person of faith and also a fundamentalist. Does that make me a rabid, hateful paranoid, antisocial boor, devoid of feeling or respect for other the beliefs or feelings of other people? Hardly.
In reality, fundamentalists are people of faith who simply go by the fundamental teachings of that faith. In my case, since I am a Christian, it means I do the best I possibly can to follow the teachings of Christ as described in the Bible, which I believe to be the inspired Word of God.
Please don't confuse the term fundamentalist with radical.
Thank you.

Answer 3

Faith allows love for all human kind, fundamentalism does not. It is by their own stubbornness, ignorance and demands that Fundamentalists are detremental to the values of the inclusive and egual American society. They have brought more dislike and skepticism to religion in its entirety. They show also understand that they have only been used by politicians and we all have suffered.

Answer 4

Excellent idea!

Answer 5

they certainly should.
