Many fundamentalists are in conflict with society’s norms and values too. 9/11 was an attack by Islamic fundamentalists who disagreed with Western secular values dominating the Middle East. Many fundamentalist regimes, however, are trying to bring about a new consensus based on old traditional values.
Consensus refers to an agreement between people whereby everyone can live in harmony with one another. They see religion as reinforcing society’s norms and values and pulling people together into a shared identity.
