I guess I'm just skeptical that you're actually limiting your concept of 'unhealthy' fundamentalism to those who actually have something like a mental illness in their Christian lifestyle. It seems too subjective, too easily extended to healthy people who annoy you.

Creationism is as rational as declaring that the periodic table is a lie and that the four elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water are the only true elements and anyone who does not believe this is a heretic and an enemy. Believing in something unprovable over accepting established facts based on evidence is harmful. How can it be harmless for large segments of the population to believe that reality is not real?
