cleared out biased intro, clarified how this is a pejorative term used by liberals
'''Fundamentalism''' is an aggressive movement against modernism which began within Protestant churches in the early 20th century. Many [[Evangelical Christians]], especially [[Southern Baptist Convention|Southern Baptists]] have adopted its fighting style and key theological elements such as [[Dispensationalism]]. It is a tendency found in numerous churches, but it is not an organized movement and has no national body or official statement. By extension scholars have identified fundamentalist tendencies in non-Christian religions.
