Considering modern atheism is often just as much of a belief structure as Christianity, there can indeed be "fundamentalist" atheists. Now, personally I'm a bit wary of the fundamentalist label in general. I think it can only ever apply to a very small segment of a group, yet all too often comes to be taken to characterize that entire group. I myself am Christian, yet I would hardly consider myself or be considered by others to be a fundamentalist. As a "reconvert" of sorts from a pretty atheistic point of view, I like to think that I can take both sides in stride.
