fundamentalism

Fundamentalism including religious fundamentalism is a paradigm in which mediums are viewed as objects (experiences).

This leads to a dogma known as structuralism or rationalism.

Fundamentalism is in extreme conflict with subjectivity which posits that experiences or objects are themselves mediums.
Fundamentalism posits that mediums are experiences by religiously sanctioning certain media and its inherent content.

Subjectivity argues that this sanction or censorship is arbitrary and intersubjective.

Rational Fundamentalism

Rational Fundamentalism is a form of secular fundamentalism that's full based on rationalism, it seeks on the use of the philosophy of rationalism and positivism in order to justify secular fundamentalism and atheist fundamentalism as well, often calling religious, spiritual, extraphysical, supernatural and immaterial beliefs as "irrational" and fighting them anywhere and all the time. A good example of rational fundamentalism is rational imperialism, that takes rational fundamentalism into a way that all kinds of religious, spiritual, extraphysical, supernatural and immaterial beliefs, also including feelings and empathy, must be countered and everyone must follow rationalism, scientism, positivism and physicalism as its main beliefs.
"Rational Fundamentalism and Rational Imperialism are really common nowadays, they only show about how can rationalism, new atheism, anti-theism, materialism, physicalism, scientism and positivism so violent and aggressive nowadays, and how they all are no different from religious fundamentalism and of those who they call as "irrational"."

Secular-Fundamentalism

The adherence to anti-religious ideology that militantly ridicules, mocks, scorns and satirizes the idea of the existence of a deity or deities and or religion, indifferent of feelings of bigotry intolerance hatred and persecution that adherents feel as a result. That does not respect religion or support policies supporting the freedom of it. Calls for its abolition or severe restriction & for religion to removed from public life. Puts forth fact-based arguments, propaganda & bullying and insults as tactics to push adherents to abandon their professed beliefs and or convert them into like-minded individuals. They regard religion as inherently harmful. Secular-Fundamentalists aren't themselves religious by definition however their attitudes regarding their beliefs mimic many religious fundamentalists so much so that the manner of their expression of their beliefs is often indistinguishable in form, from their religious fundamentalist counterparts. They commonly use a myriad of semantical arguments to avoid being labelled and most often use the internet to spread their message. They ignore rational counter-arguments regardless if it is supernatural or science based. They may exhibit obsessive-compulsive behavior regarding religion and related issues often taking disproportionate offence to even subtle outward expressions of religious belief and feeling compelled to constant dispell religious ideas. One may or may not subscribe to a deity to follow this ideology.
A soldier returns from Iraq and places a cross on the military base at camp Pendelton to memorialize his fallen comrades. Secular-Fundamentalists sue to remove it because it is on public property.

The opening of the church of the flying spaghetti monster to satirize and mock the idea of religion is a an example of how Secular-Fundamentalism works to reduce the seriousness of religious adherence into something to ridicule.

Canadian Secular-Fundamentalist complains to human rights commission that he is a victim of religious bigotry because his co-workers said a prayer before they ate when he was at the table.

Secular-Fundamentalists file a lawsuit over the 9/11 memorial cross being included in a museum as an historical artifact.

Secular-fundamentalists make calls to remove tax exemptions on Buddhists, Christians, Muslims and Jews, hindu's and sikhs etc in arguments that they should pay their "fair share" knowing full well that the majority of religious institutions could no longer afford to operate under those circumstances and therefore shut down making it the overall taxation of little financial value but cause significant damage to religion and deny adherents their freedom to practice religion.

Vaccine Fundamentalism

When politicians or health authorities exhibit a knee-jerk reaction every time there is an accident or mishap in the vaccination process, because they are afraid that their inaction or perceived ineptitude would incur widespread public condemnation.
Be it someone being accidentally jabbed with three times the stipulated dosage of a vaccine, or a teenager being injected with a shot meant only for adults, vaccine fundamentalism lurks in the minds of health officials, who are answerable for the mistakes of others to pacify an oft-misgiving public.
