Religious fanatics tend to:
- follow a set line of teaching or doctrine enthusiastically,
fanatically and blindly (this enthusiasm bends, warps and
impairs their good sense and judgment, their sense of
balance and perspective, their objectivity and capacity
for fair, honest thinking)
- pepper their ordinary conversation with religious words,
phrases and references
- have a one-track mind (want to discuss religion only)
- are obnoxious to people because they are so inflexible, so
sure they are right down to the last dot and tittle. They
present a self-righteous, pharisaical, holier-than-thou
image.
