The problem with fundamentalism in any faith, including atheism, is that it only accepts an evenly distributed, literal interpretation of a scripture which must be, in most circumstances, understood figuratively in order to internalize the inherent wisdom that lies within it. To not see this truth, is ignorance, and to react and live one's life on the basis of this falsely knowledge and acquired wisdom is dangerous.
