→References: clarified point about "radical"
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 attempt to marginalize strong Christians, and is used as a pejorative by atheists and liberals to criticize Christianity. It could also be applied to other religions, such as Islam and Hinduism, but the use of the term against those religions is much less frequent in the media. However, the media does often refer to "radical" Islam when discussing Islamic fundamentalists.

The media do refer to "radical" Islam when referencing Muslim terrorists, but the media generally do not use the term "fundamentalist" or "radical" to refer to any beliefs other than Christianity.
