His mind works like any religious zealot; everything has to fit within the narrow worldview defined by his belief system.

Those who do not subscribe to his religion have to be members of a different religion, including atheism/agnosticism.

At a fundamental level people like Huckabee are no different than the Taliban or ISIS. Fortunately for them they were born in a more prosperous, safer part of the world. If the circumstances were different, their religious zealotry would likely manifest in more obvious forms of violence than the various forms of economic injustice and social oppression they inflict on our own country as much as they can.
