Fundamentalism held to these points in opposition to such trends as [[higher criticism]] and the increasing acceptance of [[Darwinism]], which were popular among modernists. Fundamentalist movements were found in most Protestant denominations by the early [[20th century]], with the debate between fundamentalists and modernists especially strong in [[Presbyterian]] and [[Baptist]] churches. The term fundamentalism would later come to be closely associated with [[dispensationalist]] beliefs, belief in the impending Second Coming of Christ, and with [[Evangelical]] Christianity in general.

Today the term is used by the liberal media to mean any philosophy which stresses strict, and literal adherence to a set of basic principles, and is used to describe this within any religion, not just Christianity. For example the terms "fundamentalist Muslim" and "fundamentalist Hindu" are frequently used. Typically the reference is to religious fundamentalism though can have a secular meaning.
