Hi, Not all words have a one-word opposite. In addition, much depends on the context. eg the word 'left' can be the opposite of 'right' in one context, and the word 'wrong' can be the opposite of 'right' in another context.

In addition, much depends on the context.

Some antonyms of fanatical could be: indulgent, complaisant, tolerant, peaceful, mild-mannered

But, a person who is not a fanatic, hmm. Can anyone think of a one-word synonym for that? Maybe anti-fanatic, like anti-proton and anti-electron. Get the two together and they explode.
