Is the Eastern Orthodox Church "fundamentalist"?

As in, do they take Genesis 100% literally?

Don't know about the Genesis thing, but the Orthodox Church is very traditional. Very very similar to the Catholic Church.

Don't know if that answers your question or not, but I hope it does!

Eastern Orthodox is the eastern version of Roman Catholicism (though there are some doctrinal differences -- they are minor).

Fundamentalist is a term that is generally applied (in Christianity) to evangelicals made up of denominations like the Southern Baptists, Assemblies of God, and so on.

No, the Orthodox Church is not fundamentalist. We don't take Genesis 100% literally and we have no problem with evolution as part of God's plan.
