I think Paglia, here on Andrew Sullivan, is almost a nut case, but a fascinating, intelligent nut case. I do find myself agreeing with her at times.

Here she is on the current Middle East conflict: "World Islam, it has become clear, is a totalizing creed that, whatever its spiritual beauties, invades politics and stifles dissent."

I would have to add to that American Christian fundamentalism and Mormonism. This is due to the authoritarian nature of their belief structures. Don't worry, I'll also add elements of Catholicism and Judaism so I can be an equal opportunity offender.
