'''Fundamentalism''', as a religious movement, began in the early 20th century. Many [[Evangelical Christians]], including [[Southern Baptist Convention|Southern Baptists]], have adopted its principled political positions and key theological elements.

The word is often used by [[liberals]] as a pejorative term directed against any [[conservative]] movement within Protestant Christianity.
