I was agreeing with you, not saying the evidence was subtle.  If the
fundamentalist label is to stick in my mind, I'd need more details
from the story, such as the interviewee saying that he was a devout
christian or talking nonstop about church or something like that.

Regardless, he did show himself to be a likely bad fit with the
rest of the team without bringing his religious beliefs into it,
from the case example.
