At the outset, fundamentalism was interdenominational (though it generally held to an anti-Catholic viewpoint). However, by the late 1950s, those who would hold to what is now [[evangelical]]ism split from what is today considered fundamentalism. Evangelicals such as [[Billy Graham]] (1918-2018) wanted to maintain fundamentalism's historic willingness to work with anyone from any Protestant denomination who agreed with the basic tenets of Christianity, while fundamentalists such [[John R. Rice]] (1895-1980) insisted on separatism from other denominations (leading in large part to the [[Independent Baptist]] movement, which today is the largest group within churches and denominations falling into this category). | At the outset, fundamentalism was interdenominational (though it generally held to an anti-Catholic viewpoint).
