It can refer to any fundamentalist religious belief based on any scripture.
The key feature of literalism is that scripture is assumed to be a literal depiction of historical events instead of allegory. This interpretation necessitates the existence of supernatural beings and forces that are incompatible with materialism. It also flies in the face of every lesson ever taught by an English teacher.
Any reading of scripture as allegory is potentially compatible with the pantheistic universalist interpretation of god.
Religion and spirituality are not the opponents of truth, as atheists would claim. The only opponent is literalism.
