"Obeying the Bible by whose definition?"

The article says "as literal as possible"

The dictionary defines Fundamentalism as believing in the literal infallibility of the Bible.

So, this show will likely ridicule fundamentalists.

This would likely include those that handle snakes and speak in tongues.

For some, Jesus feeding many with a few loaves and fish is a literal miracle. Others might see that as a symbol of a political alliance that Jesus made to become King of the Jews.

Also, a 30 year old dictionary associates fundamentalism with southern Protestants. More modern definitions apply fundamentalism to Judaism and Islam as well

That is way out in atheism land!

Anyone that doesn’t believe the Bible literally is by definition an unbeliever. You can look that up in John’s first epistle.

The definition of Fundamentalism has changed considerably since WW II. It used to be literally a separate denomination
