Hobbes identified religious fundamentalists and glory seekers as inherently anti-order groups

Evidence

This is reminiscent of Hobbes’ concern with glory seekers in seventeenthcentury England. Hobbes supposed there are two groups who cannot be included within a stable society because their values are essentially against order. These are religious fundamentalists, who prefer disorder to an order that does not center on their religious views, and glory seekers, for whom strife provides opportunity to gain glory or honor (Hardin 1991b). — Russell Hardin, Trust and Trustworthiness, 490
