Religious fundamentalists usually have a strong belief in the literal veracity of the holy scripture that is the basis of their faith. As all scriptures contain some form of creation mythology, this bars the fundamentalist from evaluating and accepting the truths of evolutionary theory.

Basically fundamentalist non-denomenational christain churches. Also most Islamic churches and some Hindu believers have trouble accepting evolutionary theory.
I do not so much " believe it " as I an convinced by the myriad lines of converging evidences that support the theory of evolution by natural selection. talkorigins.org
Fundamentalists disagreed with Darwin's theory of evolution because it conflicted with their belief in creationism, which states that the Earth, life, and humanity were created by a divine supernatural being. They viewed evolution as undermining the biblical account of creation and challenging the authority of religious texts.
Yes, there are several. Fundamentalist Islamicists reject the theory of evolution. Southern Baptists also struggle mightily against it. There are, of course, individuals within any religion who may not agree with the tenets embraced by the majority of that faith. Catholics have very little problem with the theory of evolution, as well as certain other Christian religions. Buddhists typically embrace the theory quite readily because it poses no serious obstacle to any Buddhist creation mythology.

In 2008 the United Methodist Church made 3 major statements strongly in favor of Theistic Evolution. Most Methodists would identify with this position saying that evolution in and of itself does not conflict with theology.

Most mainstream religions accept the basics of evolution; that animals change and develop, and that the animals that we see now are the current stage of something that has changed into this. For every religion, there are "fundamentalist" sects that reject anything not explicitly defined in their holy scripture, and some (not all!) of these "fundamentalist" factions do not accept the basic concept of evolution.
People should not " believe in " evolution but accept that evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact. The also need to consider the theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains much about evolution, as one of the most well supported explanatory theories in science. Then they would, if they are intellectually honest, come to accept not only the fact of evolution but the theory of evolution by natural selection. " Believe in " is a term one uses when one can provide no supporting evidence for one's concepts and this does not include evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection.
