There's definitely a fair amount of talk about Christianity, but that word "fundamentalist" is doing a lot of work there. Just looking at the Wikipedia pages on Christian Fundamentalism makes my head spin, because I have literally never heard of 99% of the people mentioned. There's like a tiny amount which I know from reading about creationism.
Look at the page for the admittedly ancient essays described as "widely considered to be the foundation of modern Christian fundamentalism." It's just a long parade of names that I've never heard about.
This is something that I've noticed about people who criticize "evangelicals" too. I hear a lot of talk about them, but I almost never hear names of actual evangelical writers mentioned, much less their specific ideas. It looks a lot like there's a rich history there that I'm just unaware of, and I suspect that's true for a lot of people on The Motte.

So, what are you reading?
I'm still on The Dawn of Everything. Not much progress.
Has been an uneven year in reading for me. Lots of half-read interesting finds in the open access sphere. The most interesting have been With and Without Galton, Red Dynamite and A People's History of the Classics. There's been a lot of personal reads, religious and national. Also, Umineko, if that counts, has been pretty good up to Episode 5.
