Fundamentalism represents a rebellion against modern secular society, the separation of religion and politics. Basically, fundamentalists want to drag religion and/or God from the sidelines to which they’ve been relegated in modern secular society and bring them back to center stage. And, in this, they’ve enjoyed considerable success in some ways, though in other ways… it can represent a defeat for religion.
