Fundamentalist Christians were the original prigs. It is amusing to see pg try and shoehorn the word on to the social justice movement.

Puritans predate "Fundamentalists" in the American Christian sense of the term, and if we're just following _this_ line of thought (and no others) the Romans were busy setting Christians on fire for garden parties because they were not willing to conform to what the Empire demanded (worship of the Emperor and acknowledgement of many gods).
The behaviors and reactions to benign, relative ideas and thinking from anyone they disagree with are uncannily identical. There is no shoehorn to be found here.
They have much in common.
