Fundamentalism is at its core the belief that I arrived at the only/best/real answer and that anyone who didn’t is either dumb or bad.
Doesn’t this pretty well summarize traditional Christianity?
Jesus is The Way, The Truth, The Life; the only way to the Father/salvation. Those who deny this are considered “lost”, “unsaved”, “evil” by their nature, and literally condemned for all of eternity.
There is a noticeable recent softening of the fire and brimstone bits of Christianity. But it seems to me this is mostly just a PR move.
