Point taken...Some do but not all. Granted the ones that don't are usually accused of not being the "true Christians"

Not the same kind, no. Some less conservative Christians may have their biases, but they generally try to overcome them. In fact, it is rather the hallmark of the fundamentalists that they are proud of their bias. They really do believe they are right, you see.
Yet most of them probably have enough knowledge of science that they cannot really take the Bible literally, so they distort the definition of "literally" to fit their purposes. They end by distorting logic and reason, all the while knowing in some back corner of their brains that this is not reality, and suffer terrible cognitive dissonance. It's not good mental health, as I am sure you have noticed.
On the other hand, Christians who recognize that the Bible must be interpreted, read with an awareness that it has already been translated and interpreted over and over again in getting to them, find they must do something they call "discernment." That is, trust God to tell them the reasonable interpretation of a given passage. They learn to suspend judgment while awaiting this grace called discernment. It makes it a lot easier for them to talk to non-Christians. They are allowed to listen to what you say.

nicely, there are fundamentalist Atheists, particular. And right here in the R&S area of Y!A, the fundie Atheists could be in simple terms as unbearable because of the fact the fundie Christians. placed up a Pagan, Wiccan, Spiritualist, Supernatural, or Magick question, and you gets it from the two factors. the two communities are dogmatic, slender-minded, insistent that their way is the only way, and that anybody who disagrees with them is uncivilized. contributors of the two communities have expressed the desire to transform anybody else to their way, or a minimum of expressed the have faith that the international may well be greater valuable off if anybody concept like them. So, particular, they are the comparable. And, on a similar time because it is actual that Fundamentalist Christians are those pushing their Theocratic time table by Evangelical polititions, stacking the courts with conservative judges, and passing stupid rules in u . s . a . of america, Fundamentalist Atheists have made relatively a multitude in different worldwide places. Lennon and Stalin in Russia, Mao's Cultural Revolution in China, and Robspier's Reign of Terror in France, to call some. Fundamentalism is Fundamentalism. it is not important if it relatively is Christian, Atheist, or Muslim. All forms of Fundamentalism are volatile for humanity. So, particular, decrease from the comparable cloth!

The same as who? Is your question do non-fund. Christians express the same prejudicial thinking as fund. Christians? I think everyone has different prejudicial thinking. But maybe that's me being prejudiced.....Rats I've thought myself into a corner again.

Reality Check: EVERYBODY expresses prejudicial thinking. There is no such thing as a perfectly objective individual.
