apostasy and religious fundamentalism
Apostasy refers to the act of renouncing or leaving one's religious beliefs or faith. It typically involves a person formally abandoning or rejecting their previously held religious convictions. Religious fundamentalism, on the other hand, refers to a strict adherence to the basic or foundational principles and doctrines of a particular religion. Fundamentalist beliefs often involve a literal interpretation of sacred texts and a resistance to change or modernization within the religious tradition.
