Religious Nationalism

Religious Nationalism is a political ideology that incorporates religion into nationalism. This can be seen in many religions like Christianity, were you have god-fearing religious nut jobs who think the end is coming every year. Most of the people who subscribe to such doctrine are intolerant assholes who think secularism is taking away their rights and then proceeds to use their beliefs to take away the rights of others. Overall, they are the most unpleasant and hypocritical group in American politics. But, these people obviously exist outside American politics, like in India, were the caste system there has been largely defined by the Hindu nationalists and other religious groups that reside in the country. Many people who are incorporate religious nationalism into their beliefs are often fundamentalists who believe in the literal text of their books.

Person 1: Yo did you see that person who was forcing their beliefs onto others? He is a bit messed up in the head.
Person 2: Yeah, he might be one of those crazed religious nationalists. Religious nationalism is a disease, be careful.

Caleb: Whatever happened to the religious order that used to that religious bunch in the next town?

Dave: I heard they were rounded up and either taken away or executed. Something about a religious cleansing.

Religious Exaggeration Mom

A mom that reads stereotypical bible verses, and doesn't even know that they are stereotypical, that is a religious freak, doesn't let you play with good vs evil toys (like superhero toys and star wars toys), just because she doesn't want "negative energy" in the house, says whatever she doesn't like is of the devil, won't even let you say devil, and won't let you listen to songs that sound like "darkness" to her.

It is very hard to live with a Religious Exaggeration Mom

Religious people

People who assume that just because the universe exists, it must been have crafted especially for us.

They also assume it must have a purpose. In their desperation for said purpose, they are willing to ignore all evidence to the contrary of the validity of their dogmatic teachings. Such denial often results in much hilarity (see Creationism).

If that weren't enough, they go further in assuming the fantastic privilege of an afterlife, when no such evidence for one exists.

Ah, religious people...no wonder they used to think all the planets revolved around the Earth!

If the word anthropocentric doesn't fit in just perfectly here, I don't know what does.
