While it does seem that many of the more fundamentalist
leaders also espouse military might, it should be noted that
this is not true of Christianity in general.  In addition to
groups like the Mennonites and Quakers who have traditionally
been on the forefront of the Peace movement, most main
line churches (i.e. Presbyterians, Methodists, Catholics, etc.)
are now supporting the Peace movement more strongly.

I too am curious as to the association between Fundamentalist
believes and militarism.  I have always ascribed it to a generally
very conservative, black-and-white view of the world.

Comments?
