Did the Israelites introduce fundamentalism to religion, with the extreme...

[Hackman]

...superiority above human life they? placed on their God, Jehova, making him the only God, and it a stoning offence to mention his name, ....when no other cultures had placed such serious emphasis on their Gods

 

[AthÑâ€￾ist's NightmarÑâ€￾]

Naw... Fundamentalism just denotes dogma (i.e. unquestioning belief in a claim), but that surely precedes Judaism by at least a few thousand years.

You are severely misinformed. Jehova is not our G-d. Jehova is a bastardization of G-d's true name, often called "The Name of 72 letters."

Jews believe that there's power in the Names of G-d, and that they should not be spoken lightly (in vain, if you will) nor printed where they may be erased (Thou shalt not defame nor destroy the name of thine G-d.)

Technically, Christians worship our G-d too, as the Father part of the Holy Trinity.
