What belief system advocates for traditional values against modern societal changes?

Fundamentalism is a belief system characterized by a strict adherence to traditional values and doctrines, often in opposition to modern societal changes. Fundamentalists typically hold a conservative interpretation of religious texts and emphasize the importance of returning to what they see as the original principles and practices of their faith. This often includes a rejection of contemporary cultural shifts, such as changes in social norms, moral values, and scientific perspectives, which they perceive as threats to the integrity of their beliefs and practices.

In contrast, liberalism is associated with progressive values and adapting beliefs to align with contemporary society, supporting social and cultural changes rather than resisting them. Exclusivism and nontheistic approaches, while relevant to discussions of religious identity and belief systems, do not primarily focus on the tension between traditional values and modernity in the same way that fundamentalism does.
