religious fanatic 

Someone who takes a perfectly good creed and assumes that because they pretend to follow it, they are allowed to do anything they want even if they don't really follow the creed at all. Usually insisting that if others do not follow their ways, they will be damned.

During the middle ages, Christian religious fanatics entered the Middle East to aide the Bysantine Empire, and were often slaughtered.

Today, religious fanatics in Iraq bombed the US embassy. Four were killed, five-hundred twelve were wounded.

Religious Fanatic 

1. A person that believes the Bible is fact and that all other views are wrong. 2. A person that misinterprets a book of faith in order to cause hatred and ignorance towards homosexuals, lesbians, people of color, women, and anyone else that is different. 3. A person that denies all logic, science, and common sense in order to find comfort in faith. 4. A person that believes it is okay to hurt and kill, as long as it is preformed in the name of faith. 5. A person that comes up with stupid responses to disprove scientific facts, i.e, the Earth is 3000 years old (Even though it has been proven to be 4.5 Billion yeas old.) Humans tamed and rode dinosaurs (When this is impossible, seeing as humans have only been around for a few hundred thousand years and dinosaurs have been proven to have gone instinct millions of years ago.) A man named Noel rounded up 2 of every species and placed them in a boat to save them from a flood. (Even though there is Trillions of animal species on Earth and it would be impossible to round up 2 of each. Even if this could happen, 2 of every animal species would cause inbreeding, which would then cause all of those lifeforms to die. Not to mention there isn't enough water on Earth to cause this type of flood.) 6. A person that believes 2 humans were created by God, which then lead to all human life on Earth. (Which is impossible. This would also cause inbreeding and we would all share the same DNA code, in the way brothers and sisters do. This has been proven not to be the case.) 7. A person that would rather be ignorant to the facts, in order to feel comfortable with how they came to be. 8. A Republican.

If you don't believe in evolution, then check out a Religious Fanatic. They stopped evolving as a people a longtime ago.

Non-Religious Fanaticism

A close cousin of irreligious fanaticism, but emphasizing identity: the zealotry of those who define themselves primarily by being not‑religious. Non‑religious fanatics often gather in communities where the main bond is shared rejection of religion, and they police each other’s purity—expelling anyone who attends a religious wedding, visits a church for art, or expresses any sympathy for spiritual seekers. Their fanaticism stems from a fragile identity that must constantly reaffirm itself by attacking its opposite. The result is a community as dogmatic and exclusionary as any sect.

Non-Religious Fanaticism Example: “The online group banned a member for saying a mosque had beautiful architecture—non‑religious fanaticism, where any positive mention of religion is contamination.”
