I was an evangelical in the 80's and I found their beliefs mostly fear based plus all authority is given to the leaders of the church.

I also read several years ago that yes they are seeking the Divine but if you measured fundamentalist Christianity on an ascension scale of levels 1 through 7 they could never get past the 3rd level due to their fear.

With that said, we are all on a path seeking something, I think they just tried to pick a "safe" path and in doing so limit themselves and God. Rather than understanding what Christ was really saying they are being bound in fear. Instead of "becoming like the Christ" and "knowing they are "gods" and doing the same things Christ did as Christ stated "these things and more shall ye do also", they got stuck in the hell fire and brimstone which has effectively kept them in negativity.
