I know what a Fundamentalist is. And I know that in the United States Christian fundamentalists see that strict interpretation of biblical law as one that should be imposed on the entire nation with the force of law. They don’t want to overthrow secular authority, they believe the government should reflect Christian values. That being said, how is the imposition of Christian biblical law any less theocratic than Muslim Sharia law?

No, you don’t know what a fundamentalist is, if you believe “that in the United States Christian fundamentalists see that strict interpretation of biblical law as one that should be imposed on the entire nation with the force of law”, because the vast majority would look at you blankly, and many pastors would try to explain to you that the point is never to impose behavior, because that doesn’t lead people to god.

You’re assuming that the dominionist position is identical with most fundamentalists, whose main point is the old protestant cry of “Scripture only!”.

The dominionists are scary. Most fundamentalists? Not so much.
