A person who takes their religion so literally and to such extremes that they contradict the very basis of their faith. They typically believe in a literal, verbatim interpretation of their scripture. They also have ridiculous, childish defenses to intelligent criticism of their beliefs that border on insanity. The level of hypocrisy and stupidity most of these people exhibit is truly profound.
Prime examples of fundamentalists are the geniuses who call themselves Christians and march around with signs that say "GOD HATES FAGS," seriously suggest that the earth is 6,000 years old when an overwhelming amount of scientific evidence proves otherwise, or tell women that they are filthy when they are menstruating (because it's in the Bible, you know).
Fundamentalists in general give religion a bad name. By definiition, it is impossible for any religion or belief structure that is centered on love, compassion, understanding, and forgiveness (most of the major religions are) to be anything but great. However, when people watch the news and see these dumbasses parading around with their "THANK GOD FOR AIDS - FAGS GO TO HELL" signs and calling themselves Christians, it tends to leave a bad taste in the mouth.

A Funeral Treatment is when you're driving and someone is tailgating you and you slow down to very low speed, causing a line of traffic to build behind you. This makes it look very similar to a Funeral Procession. It doesn't have to be tailgating, you can give someone the funeral treatment for any reason.
Joe: Damn, this guy is riding my ass, I keep giving him a break check and he still won't back up.
Mike: Give him a funeral treatment, then he'll back off.
Joe: Speed limit is 30, I'll give him a 10mph treatment, that should piss him off.
