    I totally agree with that. I've met and seen my fair share of fundamentalist americans, british and dutch people for instance.

    All believing that which ever country they were putting forward was the best regardless of evidence.

    And by that definition, yes there ARE fundamentalist atheists who even IF evidence was shown to them regarding de existance of a god....would still not believe it and come up with an alternate story i.e. it must've been a trick, you're lying to me, I must have been drugged etc etc.

    No-one is calling all atheists fundamentalists.....but there are atheists that are fundamentalists.
    Quoting the great atheist advocate Richard Dawkins:

    "The true scientist, however passionately he may “believe”, in evolution for example, knows exactly what would change his mind: evidence! The fundamentalist knows that nothing will."[41]

    Richard Dawkins, "How dare you call me a fundamentalist: The right to criticize ‘faith-heads’," The Times, May 12, 2007
    Implying that it's also possible for someone who doesn't believe in anything to continue in that state regardless of evidence.
