No worshiper may rationally and reasonably divorce themselves from the most radical of those benefitting from their support.
This is fairly sensible. But I'd hardly call the guy who kneels and prays to Muhammad for peace and the guy who straps explosives to his chest and runs into a coffee shop followers of the same religion.
...but they
are followers of the same religion, except that guy you are talking about is re-interpreting scripture more moderately or just cherry-picking moderate scripture to follow (the nice stuff that makes you feel good), whereas the orthodox/fundamentalist/radical does not apply these filters. For the orthadox/radical, God's Word and meaning does not change.
Additionally, that guy you are talking about will have 2.7 kids, and teach them the ways. They in turn will have 2.7 kids each. Most fo them will find, worship, fund, and spread this religion. Some may become part of its orthodoxy. They allow the orthodox/fundamentalist/radical to perform God's Will through their support, recruitment/enlistment, indoctrination, education, funding, and dissemination.
The more we age, the farther we get from God's Word, and this pisses off orthadox believers. True believers. Fire and Brimstone Believers.
Many believe intent is irrelevent.
