Absolutely. Fundamentalism is doctrine and doctrine is a strict construct that allows no free thinking. If one was to actually learn and grow, one could no longer be a fundamentalist because they would no longer be bound by doctrine alone.
Christ himself was a free thinker and admonished his own disciples against blind faith.

On the flip side, I have both standard schooling without a god, and I set my own theological path.
My thing is this. I don't believe in a god. That does not restrict me from learning the origins and lifestyles of other religions. No one's telling me not to, and I won't get in trouble for it.
If that's wrong to anyone, lemme know. Otherwise, I'll just keep learning the truth of each religion as I go along, even though I have fully accepted evolution as being the origin of this world.

What fundamentals could you ascertain without a knowledge of theology?
You wouldn't be able to open your mouth to speak, then you would be violating protocol, since you must
"Shout with joy to the Lord, O earth!
Worship the Lord with gladness.
Come before him, singing with joy." - [Psalm 100]

How can you even understand fundamentalism if you never studied theology.
