Interesting.

I have _never_ heard it used that way, but the dictionary supports you.


Interesting.... It seems to be the major use now, eclipsing the
original, and even eclipsing the more modern Christian version.


I live in a country town though... and language use tends to lag a
couple of decades behind the big cities

(where the original was a very specific Christian version the current
Christian version I think encompasses a wider variety of Christian.)
At least I know why the OP called them 'fundamentalists' now though


There's an interesting piece from Encounter about Fundamentalism and
Terrorism which explores how some Fundamentalist types can end up
seeing terrorism as a viable tool.
