No one will admit to that. But you can pretty much figure that the ones that get defensive or condescending in reply are the ones this should be directed at.
Edit : Like the two directly before my answer.

You don't mind if I take a little "liberal" license with this, do you?
I didn't think so.
Let's see, is this ALSO true of "Liberals"?
"an extreme lack of rationality" = offering amnesty to those that enter a country illegally.
"fondness of logical fallacies" = because witchcraft and astrology make SO MUCH more sense than any "Supreme Being" cult
"repeated use of emotional appeals" = Where do you start with "emotional appeals" when it comes to Liberals? They live for them.
"rigid adherence to Bronze Age mythology" = This is replaced with rigid adherence to Darwinist Mythology
"endorsement of pseudoscientific nonsense" = endorsement of embryonic stem cell research, which has neither cured nor treated anything, as opposed to amniotic or adult stem cell research, both of which HAVE.
"opposition to the First Amendment" = Isn't "denying someone their Freedom Of Religion and Free Exercise Thereof" denying the First Amendment? If a politician says "God Bless You", he's branded a "fundie".
"bigotry and discriminatory attitudes towards minority groups" = bigotry and discriminatory attitude toward any group that is NOT a minority.
"belief that certain children's media is the work of Satan" = belief that any form of media that mentions religion is the work of "fundies" and denial of the First Amendment.
"propensity to post Bible verses instead of valid argument" = a propensity to change topics when evidence to the contrary of a liberal standpoint is brought forth.
Sooner or later, you have to realize that for every argument you make for one extreme, there's an equally valid argument for the other.
Just give it a rest.

I guess plagarism isn't one of those?
I would reply ... Are you, a non-religious person... imbued with a complete knowledge that you have all the truth and answers, fondness for hyperbole, repeated use of judgmental and ignorance based suggestions, adherence to new-age mysticism-tomfoolery-or quackery, endorsement of theories that you proclaim as laws, endorsement of the First Amendment as far as it allows you to freely speak but not others- where you can practice your faith freely but no one else, blind self righteousness, belief that everything is the fault of 'evil' Christians, and prone to pose rants as questions? And, No I am not, but i know a pile of BS when i hear it. Get a life and get out of this category, at least until you have something original to add.
BTW whose quote did you paste? It probably IS from an unmentionable that a previous answer stated.

The complexity for me is fundamentalism v. militancy.
I would sooner attribute the slur of fundamentalist to Pat Robertson than the Amish. The Amish are rather "extreme" in their view, but they pose no threat to me. Robertson, on the other hand, does.
I think fundamentalist is largely a synonym for militant.

If you think fundies are the work of Satan, you should check out the everyday christians you see. they have nothing better to do than to shove their beliefs down Athiests throats.
I'm Satanist. I'm not evil. I'm just another human, like yourself, searching for the answers in life. I just choose not to look for the answers in religion
