And what exactly ARE these fundamentals that you keep going on about? Please name for me one exclusively "Fundamentalist" moral trait or principle that has contributed to increase in life expectancy, income, or education level, to name but a few.

Hi Zen. Good question. I can cite more than one.
1. Commandment one of the Ten Commandments, i.e. to love the Biblical god, Jehovah with all your heart soul and mind. (somewhere in Exodus 20 and confirmed by Jesus Matthew 22:37
2. The exclusive Christian fundamental that Jesus taught of loving one's enemy, doing good to those who despitefully use you and leaving the vengeance up to the Biblical god, Jehovah. Matthew 5:44
3. Evangelizing the population with the gospel of Jesus Christ, messiah and savior. Mark 16:15
4. Attending regularly the assemblies of Christian believers. Hebrews 10:25
5. Earnest regular study the Bible. II 2:15
6. Supporting/blessing the messianic nation Israel according to the Abrahamic covenant and messianic prophecies. Genesis 12:3
Those are a few that come to mind and I'm sure there are others.
Except of course that NONE of those contribute even the slightest to "life expectancy, income, or education level, to name but a few". Would you mind providing some actual examples?
