Episode. 195 – Fundamentalism and Religion Malise Ruthven writes that fundamentalism is ‘a religious way…by which beleaguered believers attempt to preserve their distinctive identities as individuals or groups in the face of modernity and secularisation.’ This definition echoes among different scholars and it is said that revival movements in religions are an inspiration for religious militancy because they encourage going back to the actual scripture.
