| Fundamentalism
can usually be discriminated from orthodoxy in these traditions, but tends to overlap with
it, particularly in the case of Islam. Most orthodox Christians and many orthodox Muslims
tolerate those of other religious belief, though they may not agree with them, and are not
involved in the militancy and social backwardness of fundamentalist group. They usually have little trouble functioning in modern society,
though they may keep to themselves in matters of religion and still regard that theirs is
the only true religion. The strictly orthodox in these religions, however, may not be very
different than the fundamentalists and often support them.
