Other definitions of fundamentalism are similar to this one from Dictionary.com: “Strict adherence to any set of basic ideas and principles.” In this sense, everyone is a fundamentalist. Everyone has a set of principles they live by. In the progressive church, those principles might include tolerance (except toward conservative Christians) and inclusion (except for those who disagree with their interpretation of the Bible regarding sexuality). Ironically, this type of tolerance becomes its own legalistic fundamentalism.
