i am not an expert in religion, i don't practice a belief, but fundamentalism strikes me as something pre-religious and superstitious. and i agree with you that it is a protection mechanism against anomia. the interesting question is how the churches are dealing with it. take for a eexample a film like 'passion of christ'. to me this movie is not about religion. yet the catholic church was totally torn between promoting and supporting it and speaking out against it. two years ago there was a really interesting meeting between habermas and ratzinger, unfortunately only a small selection of journalists were allowed and not recording exists. but you can find their initial speeches on the internet. i will send you the link, if i find it, there is an english abstract somewhere.
