See Biblical Literalism

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.

Any reading of scripture as allegory is potentially compatible with the pantheistic universalist interpretation of god.
