strict, literal religious believer
Someone who believes their religion’s rules and stories must be followed exactly as written, and who usually rejects modern changes.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] is a fundamentalist; fundamentalist [group/movement]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "fundamentalist" with "fundamental". "Fundamental" describes something basic or essential (e.g., "fundamental rights"), while "fundamentalist" refers to a person (or, as an adjective, an attitude) that is very strict and literal, especially in religion.

استعمال کا انداز:

|
strictly religious (describes strong religious practice but may not fully capture the idea of rejecting modernity)
