OK, try this series of terms:

Fundamentalist
Charismatic
Evangelical
Pentacostal

A “fundamentalist” is one who believes in a literal reading of a religious text. There are some comic elements to Christian fundamentalism - the ability of most sects to skip lightly over the law and read the books of history and the prophets selectively. But most (leaving aside reconstructionists and some other fringe readings) want to live their lives by Jesus’ precepts as explained by Paul, Peter, John and James. This means, by the way, that there is no call to overthrow or even defy secular authority.

The Koran has some other issues.
