'''''Original Fundamentalism article'''''

'''Fundamentalism''' is a theological tendency seeking to follow and preserve what are believed to be the essential fundamentals of a [[religion]] or ideology. Followers of fundamentalism often seek to prevent what they perceive to be the liberalization of these fundamentals.

Often the term "fundamentalism" is used in a pejorative way by opponents of [[Christianity]].

'''''Original Fundamentalist article'''''

'''Fundamentalism''' is a movement which began within [[Protestantism|Protestant]] [[Christianity]] in the late [[19th century]] in opposition to the emergence of [[modernism]] within several denominations. The term itself was popularized by [[R.A. Torrey]] when he published his book ''The Fundamentals'' in 1917. Fundamentalism stresses several points:

* The inerrancy of the [[Bible]]
* The [[Virgin Birth]] of [[Christ]]
* The bodily [[resurrection]] of Christ
* The substitutionary [[atonement]] of Christ on the cross
* The literal nature of the Biblical accounts of Christ's miracles, the [[Creation]] account in Genesis, and so on

Fundamentalism held to these points in opposition to such trends as [[higher criticism]] and the increasing acceptance of [[Darwinism]], which were popular among modernists. Fundamentalist movements were found in most Protestant denominations by the early [[20th century]], with the debate between fundamentalists and modernists especially strong in [[Presbyterian]] and [[Baptist]] churches. The term fundamentalism would later come to be closely associated with [[dispensationalist]] beliefs, belief in the impending Second Coming of Christ, and with [[Evangelical]] Christianity in general.

Today the term is used by the [[liberal media]] to mean any philosophy which stresses strict, and literal adherence to a set of basic principles, and is used as a [[pejorative]] by [[secular]]ists to describe any religion, not just Christianity. For example the terms "fundamentalist [[Muslim]]" and "fundamentalist [[Hindu]]" are frequently used. Typically the reference is to religious fundamentalism though can have a secular meaning.
