Definition of fundamentalism

Fundamentalism refers to a strict adherence to the basic principles or beliefs of a religion or ideology, often characterized by a literal interpretation of sacred texts and a resistance to modern social and cultural changes. This term is typically used in reference to conservative or traditionalist movements within various religious traditions, including Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and others. Fundamentalists may reject or oppose ideas or practices they view as deviating from their core beliefs, leading to a rigid and uncompromising stance on issues such as morality, gender roles, and political beliefs.
