"El fundamentalismo no se trata de religión, se trata de poder."
Simplified meaning
Fundamentalism isn't just about being very strict with religion; it's more about controlling people and having power over them. Imagine a group of people who say they follow a religion very closely, but what they really want is to tell others what to do and to stay in charge. For example, in some parts of the world, certain leaders use religious rules to control how people dress, speak, and behave. They might not be very religious themselves, but they use religion as an excuse to keep power and make others obey them. People can see through this if they pay attention, and they might realize that the strict rules are more about control than true faith. So, it's important to understand that sometimes, when people push very strict religious ideas, they might actually be trying to gain or hold onto power.
