Gnosticism is a specific belief system that says in essence that the "real truth" about Jesus was hidden and that his message was changed very early on into something it was never meant to be. Gnostic beliefs typically are much less exclusive than any kind of fundamentalist belief.
In a way, Gnostics are the opposite of fundamentalists. Fundamentalists base their entire belief system on the Bible and do not allow for any discussion of its accuracy or the political ramifications of its compilation - Gnostics base their belief system on a pursuit of spiritual truth, even if it means following a path others might consider heresy.
