| | Fundamentalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Fundamentalism is therefore a movement through which the adherents attempt to rescue religious identity from absorption into modern, Western culture, where this absorption appears to the enclave to have made irreversible progress in the wider religious community, necessitating the assertion of a separate identity based upon the fundamental or founding principles of the religion. | | | Fundamentalism is held by many to cause followers of a faith to become overly attached to their religion's leaders. | | | Mormon fundamentalism is a conservative movement of Mormonism that believes or practices what its adherents consider to be the fundamental aspects of Mormonism. |

| | The way in which fundamentalisms manifest themselves across the religions I have looked at are varied and numerous within each particular religion, to say nothing of the variety across the religions as a whole. | | | Implicit in this belief that their sacred texts are the inspired word of God and an irrefutable account of science, religion and morality, is the exclusivist position of all fundamentalists that theirs is the only true religion. | | | The fundamentals of each religion are employed as fortifications against the relentless onslaught of modernism. |

| | Fundamentalist Christianity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Because fundamentalism began as a reaction to views coming out of the academic community, some fundamentalists have become anti-intellectual to the point of looking down on those with higher education from secular institutions, though this is certainly not true of all. | | | The secular world's current perception of the term "fundamentalism" is colored by shifts in meaning on two similar fronts since the 1980s. | | | Drawing on their belief in an inerrant Bible and dispensational-literal hermeneutic, many fundamentalists adhere to young earth creationism and universal flood geology and ardently oppose alternate approaches such as old earth creationism and non-theistic evolution, commonly known as Darwinism. |

| | Fundamentalism |
| | The fundamental doctrines identified in the series can be reduced to five: (I) the inspiration and what the writers call infallibility of Scripture, (2) the deity of Christ (including his virgin birth), (3) the substitutionary atonement of his death, (4) his literal resurrection from the dead, and (5) his literal return at the Second Coming. | | | The belief that is first and foremost the defining characteristic of Fundamentalists is their reliance on the Bible to the complete exclusion of any authority exercised by the Church. | | | In short, according to its partisans, Fundamentalism always has been the Christian remnant, the faithful who remain after the rest of Christianity (if it can even be granted the title) has fallen into apostasy. |

| | Secular Fundamentalism and Democracy |
| | As a broad school of thought, secular fundamentalism embraces outright hostility to religion, as well as the more narrow view that religion must be excluded from politics for the sake of the polity. | | | Secular fundamentalism is an undemocratic approach to regulating the place of religion in political life. | | | On the contrary, these empirical changes in Western political practice, the distortion of which leads to the claim that secular fundamentalism is a precursor to democracy, were grounded in religious doctrine and justified in religious terms. |

| | The basic principles of Jewish fundamentalism are the same as those found in other religions: restoration and survival of the "pure" and pious religious community that presumably existed in the past. | | | Contemporary Jewish fundamentalism is an attempt to revive a situation that often existed in Jewish communities before the influence of modernity. | | | From the perspective of Jewish fundamentalism the most important occurrence in the third period was the growth of Jewish mysticism, usually referred to by the name of Cabbala. |

| | As do the fundamentalist movements of other religions, Islamic fundamentalism holds that the problems of the world stem from modern influences, and that the path to salvation lies in a return to the original message of the faith, combined with a scrupulous rejection of all innovation (termed Bid'ah in Islamic terminology) and outside traditions. | | | Islamic fundamentalism is not only a religious movement; it is also a political movement. | | | In this view, while reading the Quran does not allow one to unambiguously know the will of God, reading the Quran in reference to the practices of Muhammad does allow one to unambiguously determine how Muslims should behave. |

| | When, in the late nineteenth century, some denominations began to liberalize their views of doctrines such as the virgin birth, human depravity, the resurrection, and life after death, conservative groups began to fight back....At least in part, Fundamentalists are right in claiming to be the preservers of beliefs that once characterized most Protestants. | | | But if Fundamentalism is conservative in its reaction against these elements of modernity, it is also evolutionary in the sense that it adopts new beliefs and practices, e.g.: | | | It was, then, when the world was changing that Fundamentalism began to emerge. |
