Nilsen unlike your country, USA doesn't really have seperation of church and state. And most americans are very religious, and frankly don't want seperation of church and state. In fact I think they'd just like to see the irreligous just leave the country.

So it's understandable how your  definition of religous fanatic is different from the avg american's. In america the term religious fanatic is usually reserved for the members of the most unpopular religious sects.

Actually its not seperated here either yet, but politics and and religion is not mixed in the election and the running of the country. Not even the one religious party we have and the priest we have as PM mixes poltics and religion.
