13. And thanks to people like the above posters, fundamentalism will last a long, long time.

Time and time again, it gets shown that nothing turns someone to fundamentalism like being threatened. Just look at the US in 2003-04. Why did the Iraq war get so much support? People were scared of terrorists, and fear makes people stop thinking. When people think their way of life is in danger they will rally behind any idiot who says he's fighting the threat.
People like Dawkins and Harris are the best evangelists the religious right could possibly have.
