I can't link to it because of profanity, but look up "Mustachioed Apologetics" by Armoured Skeptic. Or do you think he's just using a "fantasy term" too? Oh, and then there is this, an explanation on the history of the term "fundamentalist atheist".
Yeah, it's by JPH, but look at the sources who used it before he did. It's obviously not something he made up, and he never claims it's the "opposite of fundamental Christianity". If anything he thinks it's the atheist equivalent of "fundamentalist"* Christianity.
*Not the original meaning of the word, but the current trend of using it as an insult.

Actually the first time I heard the term of religion, fundamentalism, and Atheism came in the context of my Dad and I walking outside of a bookstore. We were discussing the types of books and he mentioned one that disturbed him. I asked what it was. He explained that it was the newest branch of Atheism that had nearly a religious, evangelical or fundamental tone. Holding may say "fundy" but he's not the first to invent the concept. Its been around for some time.A happy family is but an earlier heaven.

You really should at least watch that video by Armoured Skeptic, maybe you will at least not dismiss him since he's an atheist.If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!
