Christian fundamentalism was a movement that arose within American and British Protestantism in late 19th and early 20th century against theological modernism.<u><em> Its aim was to revive the traditional Christian beliefs so that developments in the social sciences and natural sciences can accommodated. </em></u>
The fundamentalist confirmed core christian beliefs such as Christ's Virgin birth and Resurrection. It became a notable phenomenon in 20th century. Fundamentalist worship practices were influenced by revivalism and included sermon with congregational prayer and singing.
Although fundamentalists are not ascetics but they do observe <em>prohibition such as smoking and drinking alcohol and attending plays, movies and dance.</em>
