No one is saying they don't exist.

Christopher Hitchens comes close to that characterization.

The problem is, the theocrats like James Dobson continue to keep trying to
enshrine their dogma as official, using political means.

 RC> I have never had a rabid fundamentalist come to my door either,

You're lucky.
I haven't seen any for a long time.
But they can be insistent, to the point of simply being horribly obnoxious.

Yesterday though, a Jehovah's Witness came to my door.
I said politely, "I'm sorry, not interested."
She politely said "Thank you, and God bless you."
and left.

I just wish more religions were like that.

When was the last time Jehovah's Witnesses tried to sneak through or cram
through, political bills?
