A fundie-lite is a person who is very religious but not quite a fundamentalist. The person adheres to strict beliefs but makes some minor exceptions, thus he is the "lite" version of a fundie.
Fundie-lites are typically zealous about their beliefs; believing everything in their religious text is literally true and attempting to live their lives in complete obedience to it. In America, fundie-lites are typically Christian but may be Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, or subscribers of another religion.
Fundie-lite in America
In America, a fundie-lite is usually a right-wing conservative Protestant Christian. He believes everything in the Bible is indisputably true and may reject modern societal norms and scientific discoveries.
However, fundie-lites are not as fervent as fundies. Fundies may only homeschool their kids whereas fundie-lites may let their kids go to a private Christian school. Fundie-lites may also be laxer in the areas of dating, female dress code, and church and family structures.
How is fundie-lite used?
