Is religious fundamentalism really about religion? Is religious fundamentalism really about religion?

Picking up on other
comments made above, in a sense, it is possible to argue that fundamentalism isn't actually
about religion at all, but it is about being right and a state of arrogance, that, as #9 points
out, is very closely linked to control. Religious fundamentalism is all about an unshakeable
view of the world that people can have absolute faith in. Anything that doesn't "fit"
this mould or view of the world can be conveniently rejected, attacked or ignored. Thus,
arguably, religious fundamentalism is a very limiting approach to adopt as it allows adherents
to ignore bits of reality...
