Religious fundamentalism has always been here. But as for SANE religious fundamentalists, we mostly stay quiet, don't protest anything, use rational language, and fervently hope that people like Jerry Falwell and Rush Limbaugh will go hide out in the mountains and stop inadvertantly slandering our cause. The Harry Potter thing kind of makes me both amused and sad. Amused that these people actually believe all the crazy things said about those great books, and sad for the same reason.
