Fundamentalism occurs in many religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism, and Islam. Most of the spotlight is currently put on Islamic fundamentalists, because of their links to terrorism. However, fundamentalists from all types of religions cause discord within their religions because of their beliefs in a literal interpretation of sacred texts or outdated traditional practices. For example, the Fundamentalist Mormon church's adherence to polygamy led to their separation from the actualy Mormon church, which had ended their practice of polygamy. Fundamentalists are usually extremists who try to enforce their religion strictly on traditional practices which most followers have abandoned, sometimes advocating violence to implement their cause. Fundamentalists are also usually intolerant of others' beliefs, causing beliefs in their superiority over others.
