First line of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Templeton_Foundation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Templeton_Foundation. It is just important to understand the possible motivations for the article.
- pavel_lishin 10y agoThat seems to come from a single French article, in which the only reference to fundamentalism comes from the description of the founder. It seems that since the core tenets of fundamentalism seem to be biblical literalism and anti-modernity, it doesn't accurately describe the Templeton foundation or its goals. The founder and his wife did donate something on the order of a million dollars to causes opposing same-sex marriage, which definitely seems like a fundamentalist trait.
- lambdaphagy 10y agoIs Barack Obama a fundamentalist for having opposed gay marriage in 2008, the same year that the Templetons made their donation?
