What is a “fundy?
This term, occurring often in AB-J, is shorthand for “fundamentalist” and is not necessarily intended to be derogatory, although some people may mean it that way. When used alone, it generally refers to fundamentalist Christians, but may be combined with other faiths to mean anyone who is fundamentalist. It can be combined with non-religious philosophies and with non-mainstream religions quite easily as well. The Microsoft Encarta 95* definition of “fundamentalism” is as follows: 1. A Protestant movement holding the Bible to be the sole authority. 2. A movement marked by rigid adherence to basic principles.
