dianavan, that's a broader brush than I would use. I know many fundamentalists- and I don't know many power hungrey ones. I think it is more a delusional wish to have things simple and spelled out so it's nice and easy to say, This Is what I believe.

And even then I expect I am generalizing too much.

And again- not all churches and faiths are the same. The Plain people, for instance, which includes Quakers and Hutterites and Amish among several others, definitely - and defiantly - do NOT send their offerings to any military or to any despots.
