    Based on the definition of "fundamentalist", I would be surprised if it was over 3%-5%.

    It would depend on you definition of fundamentalist. My general definition is that it's someone who interprets the bible literally, and then incorporates beliefs that match that literal interpretation. Many of them are harmless, but annoyingly passive aggressive. But many are also harmful.

    3 in 10 Americans take the Bible literally:
