I tend to use the term
Jesus Freak or
God nut to refer to
religious fanatics of a
Christian persuasion. I think it's notable that
mainstream society in the
United States doesn't generally treat fanatical Christians the way that, say, fanatical
Muslims or fanatical
Hindus or fanatical
Jews are treated. It seems for Christians there's no such thing as too much, but with non-Christian faiths there are definite lines to be drawn. There's a lot of things that
fundamentalists and other
Christians do that when taken from a cultural viewpoint other than our own are just downright
strange
I think a little cultural relativism when looking at religion is a good thing, even if you're religious yourself.
