Description
Summary:This article warns against the mass use of the label "fundamentalist" and outlines the psychological profile of the religious trend towards fundamentalism. The interpretation of the Bible by the believer and the non-believer can go from a literal position ("fundamentalist") to an open position ("symbolic" understanding). A psychological analysis of the different attitudes brings to light several parameters, such as the need to base one's faith on historically recognized realities and on a logic of relationship and conventions as much as on a logic of reason. Access to symbolic understanding depends on a cultural and religious environment which stimulates autonomy; maintaining a "fundamentalist" position is a result of personal factors, education and the social group.
