Not all Christians are religious fundamentalists. This is absolutely a true statement.
I also read the article TroutDude posted, and it seems to be a factual history of Christian fundamentalism. That article also demarcates the difference between fundamentalism and other forms of Christianity, as well as how that came to be, which supports mensaguy's point.
None of this has anything to do with a Catholic Archbishop's prayer for the USA, so
Discuss something related to the topic or start a new thread.

On topic of the prayer for the US, I think it is a fine prayer for those who are set over us: 'illuminate those who govern us so that they may commit themselves to the common good, in respect for Your holy Law.'

Prayer for The United States of America
Composed by His Excellency
Archbishop Carlo Maria ViganĂ²
Almighty and Eternal God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords: graciously turn your gaze to us who invoke You with confidence.
Bless us, citizens of the United States of America; grant peace and prosperity to our Nation; illuminate those who govern us so that they may commit themselves to the common good, in respect for Your holy Law.
Protect those who, defending the inviolable principles of the Natural Law and Your Commandments, must face the repeated assaults of the Enemy of the human race.
Keep in the hearts of Your children courage for the truth, love for virtue and perseverance in the midst of trials.
Make our families grow in the example that Our Lord has given us, together with His Most Holy Mother and Saint Joseph in the home of Nazareth; give to our fathers and mothers the gift of Strength, to educate wisely the children with which you have blessed them.
Give courage to those who, in spiritual combat, fight the good fight as soldiers of Christ against the furious forces of the children of darkness.
Keep each one of us, O Lord, in your Most Sacred Heart, and above all He whom Your Providence has placed at the head of our Nation.
Bless the President of the United States of America, so that aware of his responsibility and his duties, he may be a knight of justice, a defender of the oppressed, a firm bulwark against Your enemies, and a proud supporter of the children of light.
Place the United States of America and the whole world under the mantle of the Queen of Victories, our Unconquered Leader in battle, the Immaculate Conception. It is thanks to her, and through your Mercy, that the hymn of praise rises to you, O Lord, from the children whom you have redeemed in the Most Precious Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
I base my assessment on what fundies say and do. And I have found them to be dark-hearted, joyless, bitter, narrow-minded and dishonest.
Want to change my opinion? For starters, stop echoing BF's lies.
Trout Dude---- you are so obsessed with fundamentalists that it's funny. Fundie, funny. See what I did there? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
