Fundamentalism is the backlash to the forced modernisations.
Exactly. Look at the rise of Creationism as the backlash to Natural Selection, and thereby evolution. Not because the theory questions the bible but because some obscure biblical scholar wrote a treatise on the age of the world and a "strict" interpretation on the meaning of 'God created the world in seven days."

Whereas if I were a theologian I would see evolution driven by natural selection as obviously devine.
