Fundamentalist

An adherent of a religion (especially Protestant Christianity but can also be Catholicism, Mormonism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism or other faith), characterized by a rigid orthodoxy, a belief in absolute inerrancy and infallibility of a religion's scripture, founder, or primitive organization, a reactionary stance in social and political matters as well as religious, and usually rejection of modern scholarship and scientific question of relgious myth and doctrine: also fundamentalism.

Fundamentalists dominate newer, smaller and more radical Christian denominations, especially Pentecostal and independent Baptist, but have had limited success in mainline Protestant bodies, except for the Southern Baptist Convention.

political fundamentalist

1) A person who exploits religion for political purposes. 2)A politician who uses religion solely as a means to further their political career.

Americas founding fathers feared that a political fundamentalist would someday come along who would use religion as a means to undermine democracy in an attempt to establish a theocracy in America.Prudently they established the doctrine that seperation of church and state must be upheld to preserve democracy.

fundamentalcase

A hard-core member of the Religious Right. generally obsessively preaching the Word, telling you you're going to hell and has no tolerance for difference.

Pat Robertson is a fundamentalcase, plain and simple. Don't you get tired of hearing that every natural disaster is caused by gays, feminists, pagans and liberals?

Fundamentalist Consumerism

a term coined by Bruce Levine to describe the mindset of a group of people who "are singularly attached to cheap stuff."

The term describes a culture that "creates increasing material expectations" that often can not be satiated, "devalues human connectedness," "socializes people to be self-absorbed and selfish," "obliterates self-reliance," "alienates people from normal human emotional reactions" and "sells false hope that creates more pain."

Fundamentalist Consumerism is demonstrated en-mass on every Black Friday. On Long Island, NY in 2008, Wal-Mart employee Jdimytai Damour was trampled to death by customers stampeding into the store when the doors were opened. Police attempting to clear the scene were met with hostile reactions from customers, some insisting that they "had been waiting in line since yesterday morning" to get into the store. Fundamentalist Consumerism devalues all life in pursuit of 'stuff.'

Christian Fundamentalism

The doctrine that there is an absolutely powerful, infinitely knowledgeable, universe spanning entity (see God) that is deeply and personally concerned about my sex life.

The Bush administration is a prime example of Christian fundamentalism gone horribly sour.
