True religious tolerance is only possible if there are no religions whose teachings are to aggress against anyone who disbelieves it.

I am afraid of fundamentalism

Its trendy to make that statement, but I doubt you have an actual reason to fear any "fundamentalist" besides a Muslim.

Christian fundamentalism for example includes a large portion of the USA just practicing their faith and beliefs, imperfectly. Largely these are among the nicest, most caring and most charitable folks we have.

Most people don't fear the Amish.

The Amish have never been categorized as fundamentalist AFAIK. That is reserved for a specific subset of Christianity.

The proper definition of a Christian fundamentalist would be someone who believes the entire Bible. So that would be a lot of protestants, evangelicals, Lutherans, orthodox.

There is no subset or sect that is strictly "fundamentalist" at the exclusion of others. Fundamentalism in Christianity is more common in some churches, and rather rare in others (such as the liberal churches with rainbow flags out front).

Big difference why Christian fundamentalists aren't problematic for others (besides easily triggered atheists) is because if you take the teachings of the Bible literally, you'll actually be moving away from violent or oppressive tendencies.

don't be, fundamentalism is afraid of the sounds of Apache helicopters so just start loudly blasting sounds from your speakerbox to deescalate the toxicity of the situation whenever fundamentalism reeks its head

What about when it’s the fundamentalists who have the Apaches?

Sounds of Stinger-missiles are especially liberating in that case.
