Bible thumper (also Bible basher) is a derisive term used to describe Christian fundamentalists, or anyone perceived as aggressively pushing their religious beliefs upon those who do not share them. As an insult, its target domain is broad and can often extend to anyone engaged in a public show of religiosity, fundamentalist or not.
The term alludes to a preacher thumping his hand hard down on the lectern and the Bible on it to emphasize a point during a sermon.

I think it was a term that was applied to traveling preachers in the 30's to 50's that held rvivals in tents, etc. They were known to be very emotional and would slap or thumb their Bibles to dramatize their delivery and get peoples attention.
