person who takes their religion so literally and to such extremes that they contradict the very basis of their faith. They typically believe in a literal, verbatim interpretation of their scripture. They also have ridiculous, childish defenses to intelligent criticism of their beliefs that border on insanity.
I don't think there is a literal following of the Christian religion by so-called fundamentalists.
They ignore what is inconvenient to them. They pretend like teachings contrary to their respective church's teachings don't even exist. They don't sweat it. They ignore it.
It is a selective fundamentalism.

Mike Huckabee is probably the ONLY one up on the stage who actually truly could be considered "religious." The rest of them use it as a stage prop to get votes
I'm glad you said "religious" and not Christian.
I hope people noticed.
