11.1.2 The Fundamentals

Gregory Millard

Second, for any given fundamentalist, their religious identity is defined in terms of infallible ‘fundamentals.’ These are core theological commitments that are understood to emanate from divine will and whose truth cannot legitimately be challenged (e.g., Ozzano, 2016: 60). Indeed, this is a major part of the problem with secularism; it implies that other, even contradictory views, may be as worthy of respect as those of the fundamentalist – or more so.
