Just a side note:

"Religion", according to the dictionary, is "an individual or corporate system of principles and practices by which one orientates their thoughts and actions".

"Fundamentalism" has nearly the same definition, except that it adds behind "practices" an "which are accepted without question and also demanded to be accepted without tolerance".

As such, "fundamentalism" is the same as "religion" except that fundamentalism doesn't open avenues for dialogue or dissent.
