Usually, this refers to religions that have a well defined scriptural base of some kind, and the teaching is that this scriptural material is without error. It is also accepted that the material does not contain much if any material that is figurative, symbolic or literary, and therefore open to various interpretations. The material is literally true, and must be the literal guide for living for all of the people who practice that religion. As a result of this kind of understanding of their materials, fundamentalists come to the inevitable conclusion that theirs is the one and only legitimate pathway to God and to salvation. Anyone outside of their path is doomed in the next life, and may be doomed in this one as well, depending on the fervor of the different fundamentalist groups.
