Christian Fundies, the last religious group you can safely demonize.
Well, I have often thought that... Christian Fundies may deserve problematic (since from most historical Christian perspectives they are uber-heretics) and that Orthodoxy may be aligned with multi-cultural enforcement so that they don't have to be seen as in league with Independent Baptist Calvinists who protest at soldiers funerals.
But ironically, demonizing Fundies makes them grow...
btw, I think you can safely demonize Catholics in our culture and sometimes Muslims, but only sometimes and only indirectly.
