History

U.S. Constitution: 1st Amendment

  • Fundamentalism began in the mid 19th century as many Protestant denominations shifted towards modernism and away from traditional beliefs in the Christian church.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

  • Fundamentalism is a word coined in 1920 used to describe a group of Evangelical Protestants who supported a series of 12 Pamphlets which attacked modernist theories of Biblical Criticism

The U.S. Government protects the free speech and religious establishments of all Americans, even extreme fundamentalists

  • Fundamentalists affirm a core of five Christian beliefs that include a literal and unquestionable translation of the Bible, the imminent and physical Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and Christ’s Virgin Birth, Resurrection and Atonement.
  • Throughout the 20th century, fundamentalists have fought to maintain traditional Christian and family values, resisting much of modern culture. They have fought through outlets including public schools, the Republican party, and religious groups like the Family Research Council. Today, a large portion of Christian fundamentalists belong to the Southern Baptist Church.
