According to Eugen Weber's book "Apocalypses", "a Wall Street Broker and a Wall Street lawyer who was also a graduate of Yale Divinity School, set up Fundamentalists Anonymous, which also offered a hotline: 212-696-0240. Within two years of its foundation in 1985, the organization's membership was 30,000 and growing." (p. 209)
Despite the twelve-step connotation of its name, "Fundamentalists Anonymous" appears to have believed fundamentalism is a good thing (whereas another group by the same name works today to help members "overcome the baggage of a dysfunctional religious experience.")
