The term '''fundamentalism''' was first applied to Protestants in the United States in the 1920s, but it now represents a set of [[phenomena]] that can be observed in most [[cultures]] where [[religion]] has influence and especially in cultures where religion dominates. Fundamentalism is almost always associated with religion, but some scholars also see it as an outlook on life that can characterize the non-religious as well. In fact, some scholars claim that those who are devoted without question to the [[Scientific method|scientific worldview]] sometimes approach it as uncritically as most scientists see religious fundamentalists defending their worldviews.
