in fundamentalism one of the main behave is prejudice no matter if the group is Christian, Judaist, Agnostic, Atheist or Muslim or what so ever..

Religious persons who claim there is a God, and that the God has a set of rules which governs everything/everybody, purely based on
anecdotal/hearsay evidence are irrational, because they provide no logic way to validate their claim (ex.
scientific evidence)... it simple a matter of belief in which a the religious persons hold their premise to be true - without the use of logic, which makes them irrational (illogical).
An atheist or agnostic does not make a claim that something exist, which makes them rational when using logic (they do not have to prove the existens of a negative, since it does not exist).
The religious persons are introducing religion into the community/society - they are the ones making a statement that God exist, so its up to them to prove they are rational or else everyone could claim everything based on nothing (ex. my little finger is the ruler of all Gods etc.).
