The difference is fundamentalism devolves into a parody when seen from the outside. A creed based solely self-professed allegories devolves into a parody when seen from the inside. Nothing worthy of the name religion can be so without being seen as a parody from the outside. A creed won’t devolve into a religion if it is seen as a parody from the inside.
