Fundamentalism is generally seen as a system of theological dogma
that is the litmus test of faith.
No matter which religion is in question, the reasoning goes that authentic believers subscribe to the dogma and non-believers and second-rate followers do not. But strangely enough, fundamentalism is not about theology nearly as much as it is psychology.
The essence of all flavors of fundamentalism is religious exclusivity and
spiritual arrogance, which is totally about the psychology of low
self-esteem and weak ego strength.
People with healthy self-esteem and ego strength have no reason to be
exclusive or arrogant.
