Here's the rub... those practical moderates FUEL the fanatics (donations and tithing), and they also provide the fundamentalists with a smoke screen of respectability.

They're a huge part of the problem. The fundies depend on the moderates.

I'd say the conflation's the bigger part of the problem.

There's always a conflation. Fundamentalists are impossible without moderate support.
