I am not sure that it resulted in confusion. Also, I think that it is a little harsh to blame the fundamentalism for the conflict. You could just as much blame the city people...
Anyway, during the 1920s, American society was changing in a huge way. There were way more people in cities than before and their culture was changing. There were all sorts of new things to do for fun. There were flappers.
All of this looked to rural traditional people like it was an assault on American values. Historians say that this is why religious fundamentalism rose -- it was a reaction to these new ways. The rural people reacted by going back to the old ways.
