Wondering if you have any stats for this. I'm skeptical.
I'm not too sure what this has to do with Wikipedia, but no, the majority of Americans are not fundamentlist Christians. While 77% of Americans do identify as Christian, most are not particularly ardent Christians. When asked whether they would consider themselves "religious", "somewhat religious", "somewhat secular", or "secular", only 37% of Americans said "religious". Had there been a further category of "extremely religious", presumably even fewer would've chosen it.
