In all honesty who has a higher skillset?

Someone who has gone through a trade school and/or university who has a professional specialty and a broad educational and social awareness. (This can include religious preachers by the by)

Or someone who is a fundamentalist whose field of study is so narrow in focus that it automatically excludes other options (which can happen in non religious courses too).

In general though a business/engineering/arts/engineering educated person tends to be of the first set. While the second set seems to be more prolific from third worlders and home schoolers. Rutherford was rather blinkered in his approach to women being educated in Physics... ironic since he was home schooled by his mum. Anyhow a lot of 'education' seems to be about removing other options from sight, and this is more easily done be home schooling and/or in a religious school. This in turns means they are a higher resource of blinkered religion ie fundamentalism. However don't for a moment believe that any other course of study that is over specialised or elitist can not cause such a hubris to create fundamentalists. Jingoism and elitism can create another form of blinkers very close in resolution to that of the religious fundamentalism.

I'm sure that there are multicultural fundamentalists. In some ways that is an oxymoron if they are removing one culture in favour of another. My preferred model of multiculturalism is an international food court using the local health laws... best blend of all... that and multi-origin coffee.
