Fundamentalism is a self-propagating [[Meme|memetic]] [[virus]], the characteristics of which are advocacy of violence, extreme wealth inequality, xenophobia, racism, homophobia, extreme sexism, perpetual wars of conquest, attacks on science, logic, or reason, and massive erosion of civil rights in favor of wanton bloodshed against preexisting named scapegoat individuals and groups. It reproduces by infiltrating and damaging the education or other knowledge-propagation mechanisms of the host culture, corrupting the education received by the culture's children. It usually takes the form of an extreme version of the dominant [[religion]] in the host culture. These children then act as vectors for propagation, or they do direct damage to society through commission of the above-named characteristic actions.
*Christian Fundamentalists: Sub-divided into many groups, ranging from Catholics, Protestants, Weirdo Cults, to Bible Literalists. Violence level -- Generally very low; other than the occasional abortion clinic bombing or attack in the middle of the night.
 
*Hindu Fundamentalists: Not enough data to compute.
Combating fundamentalism is usually accomplished with direct [[mockery]] of the [[Fundie]], or vector attempting to spread the virus to others, in open debate in front of an audience; education of the populace at large in science, logic, and reasoning; wide-scale broadcasting of the atrocities done in the name of fundamentalism; and social engineering to make fundamentalism frowned upon as backward and savage in the host culture.
*Islamic Fundamentalists: Sub-divided into several groups; but can generally be divided into Sunni and Shi'ite groupings. Violence Level -- Can range from releasing harshly worded press releases to extreme violence, such as suicide bombings, mass casualty attacks, etc.
 
*Buddhist Fundamentalists: Not enough data to compute.
 
*Shinto Fundamentalists: Basically believe that Japan was blameless during [[WWII]], and that [[Comfort Women]] didn't exist.
