Ian: What's the opposite of fundamentalism?

Erin: Nihilism?

Ian: Is it?

Erin: Well, fundamentalism is believing in one thing very strongly and nihilism is believing in nothing very strongly.

Us: Hmm.

I've always thought the opposite of fundamentalism is anarchy. If fundamentalism is believing in one thing very strongly which implies a certain
order of things, anarchy is the absence of order.

Hmmm

I think Fundamentalism has its roots somewhere in the church and religion or something like that. Lots of extreme fundamentalists, I think, tend to lean towards a misogynistic, male-dominated, one-rule society, like Christianity and Islam.

So... feminism? Or Secularism?
