'''Fundamentalism''' is a movement among [[Christian]]s in the [[United States]] that began in the late 19th century. It was a backlash against [[Modernism]], which the fundamentalists accused of denying such Christian doctrines such as [[virgin birth]] and the inerrancy of Scripture. The views of many of the greatest scientists and mathematicians were within the meaning of fundamentalism, including [[Isaac Newton]] and [[Bernard Riemann]].

The views of many of the greatest scientists and mathematicians were within the meaning of fundamentalism, including [[Isaac Newton]] and [[Bernard Riemann]].
Fundamentalism is one of four major movements within Protestantism, the other three being [[Mainline Protestant churches|mainline]], [[evangelical]], and [[Pentecostal]]/[[charismatic]], and as such has a specific meaning within Protestantism regarding doctrine and practice. However, the term itself is sometimes used in a pejorative way today by [[liberal]] bigots to describe any Christian individual or group disagreeing with how it perceives Christianity should believe and act (e.g. not agreeing with liberal Christianity).
The movement is associated with the 1925 [[Scopes Trial]], which concerned the issue of evolution. It suffered a decline in the 1930s, but revived in the late 1940s.
