Regarding the term "fundamentalism": In studies of religion, this word has a very specific meaning. Wikipedia articles about religion should use this word only in one of its technical senses. Editors should take care to explain what is meant by the term in order to avoid causing unnecessary offense or misleading the reader. Wikipedia articles should not use it to mean "strongly-held belief," "opposition to science," or "religious conservatism," as it is often used in the popular press. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wombatmanor (talk • contribs) 12:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
