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 as a [[pejorative]] by [[secular]]ists to describe 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.
