A Fundamentalist religion is one that considers the Bible to be taken in "literal" terms. They believe that what was mentioned and wrote about in the Bible is to be taken as fact. They do not believe in evolution and remove their kids from schools in favor of home schooling to prevent them from any evolutionary teachings. They are homophobic in a sense that they believe women who wear pants or play sports are "going down the road" toward lesbianism. This is another reason they homeschool their kids;ie, to keep them from dressing in gym clothes that are shorts and far too revealing. Also, changing clothes in front of other girls will allow other girls to lust after their bodies!!

How do I know the above statements to be true? I was a part of a Pentacostal church for three years. The above mentioned beliefs went way beyond the limits of what I considered reasonable. They expected me to check in my brains at the church door and pick up a box of crayons.
