Does it have actual meaning or it's just something people call people they don't like? Seems like it's tossed around left and right and I'm not sure it means what I think it means.

There's a lot more faux-naïf and disingenuousness, straightforward dishonesty is easy to deal with by comparison.

"I think I use the term “radical” rather loosely, just for emphasis. If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
