What do you mean by "fundamentalist"? And how does the term as you use it incorporate Breivik? I mean, have you read anything the guy actually wrote about his own beliefs?

"As for the Church and science, it is essential that science takes an undisputed precedence over biblical teachings. Europe has always been the cradle of science, and it must always continue to be that way. Regarding my personal relationship with God, I guess I'm not an excessively religious man. I am first and foremost a man of logic. However, I am a supporter of a monocultural Christian Europe."

"I went from moderately agnostic to moderately religious."

"It is therefore essential to understand the difference between a 'Christian fundamentalist theocracy' (everything we *do not* want) and a secular European society based on our Christian cultural heritage (what we * do* want)."

"I’m not going to pretend I’m a very religious person as that would be a lie. I’ve always been very pragmatic and influenced by my secular surroundings and environment."

Etc., etc.
