Fundamentalism is a term, often used in the pejorative sense, referring to evangelical Christians. The term originated in the middle of the 20th century, when a group of evangelical thinkers promulgated a pamphlet under the name, "The Fundamentals of Christianity," in an effort to define themselves as opposing the liberalization of American social culture during that time period.

Liberals often use this term, intending to insult persons of faith.
