G Willow Wilson gives one of the best commentaries that I have read on the problem with religious fundamentalism.
Modern fundamentalism is not an obsession with God, it is an obsession with law. Religion in the eyes of most fundamentalists is a normative, enforceable moral code, not the society of God on earth. Personal spiritual experience suggests a direct connection with the divine, one not subject to the oversight of self-appointed moral guardians. Fundamentalists would love to live in a world where miracles occur only to the stuffily pious, and not to malcontents like me.
She’s got a point.
