Yeah, another misvote here (voted NA when obviusly Fundies is correct). That will teach me to look at the poll question and not just the thread title.

Add me to the misvote over thread title...

I'd say the more exclusive Fundy is worse since they will out-right reject facts that don't agree with their belief system while the new-ager will take the good with the bad.
