It's all-or-nothing in the eyes of the many gods who are alleged to have authored the many texts. They disregard moderates the same way they do heretics or nonbelievers. These books demand a wholehearted approach. The intention to consume religion in moderation seems to resolve some of these issues and it's why we see a lot of modern people skirting some of the inconvenient or disagreeable parts of their holy books, but to do so is actually to disobey the books they're trying to cherrypick for its best ideas.
Even if you don't find faith in the absence of evidence - and in spite of counter evidence - to be an alarming view to hold, a fundamentalist's interpretation of any allegedly god-sent scripture is often littered with ideas that are at best awkwardly antiquated and at worst downright illegal in a modern world.
