[Rhodes22-list] definition "religious kook" (as requested)

[petelargo]

an individual who is driven by their religious Belief to impose their Belief
on others in order to "save you" for what they believe is your own good by
using their civic power and position to support and pass laws requiring your
compliance with their Beliefs, hence making societal criminals out of people
should they not share these particular Beliefs. Always combined with an
inherent feeling of righteous seniority and intolerance of other beliefs,
based on the belief that their Belief is superior to all other beliefs.

examples: 1)  supporting and imposing laws that state what you can and
cannot do with or put in your own body as an adult based on their specific
religion 2) supporting restrictions and public bans of literature, books,
movies, and art that may not support their religion 3) attempts to create
laws that make their religion the 'official state' religion 4) imposing
their religion as the 'truth' that must be taught in public forums over
empirical contrary scientific evidence 5) wanting to change the Constitution
of the United States in order to better reflect their specific religion 6) 
supporting deconstructing boundaries between church and state in order to
more effectively implement the above
