A belief in following an exact interpretation or explanation of religion is often referred to as "literalism" or "fundamentalism." This perspective emphasizes adherence to the original texts and doctrines of a faith, interpreting them in a strict and literal manner. Adherents often reject more liberal or metaphorical interpretations, viewing their understanding as the sole, authoritative truth. This approach can foster a strong sense of identity and community among followers, but it may also lead to conflicts with differing beliefs and interpretations.
