Explanation:

Fundamentalism is a form of religious thinking and teaching that proclaims strict belief in the sacred texts and ideas. The idea started as tied to Christianism and Protestantism in the 19th century. It propagated the literal understanding of the Bible, sticking to dogmas that are believed to be fundamental pillars of the faith (hence the name). They refused any teachings of Darwinism or criticisms of the Bible and started to split into their own group of fundamentalists, as opposed to modernists.

Today, the term can be used to describe similar sentiment in various religious teachings.
