The researchers define fundamentalism as a cognitive approach that “embodies adherence to a set of firm religious beliefs advocating unassailable truths about human existence.“

Ah well, if we are brain damaged we are disabled this a victim class, so, perhaps we can get special rights now. Maybe we won’t have to Bake the Cake.

Quite the opposite, of course, is true. A belief that there is no right or wrong, only the priority of feelings, is a clear indication of mental disease.
A firm moral conviction is central to mental health. I do not doubt that certain forms of brain damage may generate healing to overcome that damage.
Certainly, the ability to compensate for brain damage by making a serious attempt to hold firmly to fundamental truths is a sign of extraordinary mental health.
Once again the atheists have tried to demonstrate that the cart is pushing the horse.

If you omit the word "religious," they could be talking about any narrow-minded person, not just those thought of as "fundamentalists." The word "fundamentalist" seems to be a very slippery and loaded word, very unscientific. This seems like bigotry masking as science.

Like Global Warming, or belief in such terms as Rayciss, or Homophobia.

Like climate change, institutional racism being everywhere and homosexuality being innate not behavioral, as well as gender is not inherent but selectable
