Fundamentalism is a mind-virus, in this case a very aggressive one that drives the host to infect others with it and to keep propagating the mind-virus (idea package) as their prime directive.

People who talk about fundamentalism really have no idea what they are talking about in ignorance. Fundamentalism is considered the root cause of all evils only by people who have no knowledge.
The truth is if all the religions go back to their fundamentals written in their books this world will become a more peaceful tolerent place. The fundamentals of the books get manipulated by the religious scholars by their own corrupted interpretation for their materials gains. Jews Christians and Muslim scholars who spread hatred against each other are the propbem not the fundamentals.

No. It's someone who has firm beliefs and does not believe that other religions are right. Only one religion can be true. While many religions have many truths in them, only one can be completely true. A fundamentalist believes that theirs is true and they don't need to spend 10 years of rigorous study to know if another religion is correct in all of it's teachings.
A fundamentalist is a strong willed person with beliefs different from yours (and that can include atheists).

Dear,
I am deceased and I know. At least i know that something is wrong with me when I have to adhere to religion. But the problem is that others made me sick. If I would live in normal society with normal life and happiness, I would not have any need for religion.
I am in great mess. Therefore I use religion as my only choice. Please give me back my life!

Not necessarily.
Mostly, they are people who have not thought their religion through.
