I would regard a atheist to be something of an extremist if, when finding himself in conversation with theist stranger concerning a topic totally unrelated to the any aspect of theism, he would custmarily change the topic to challenge theism and annoy the theist.
I would also regard an atheist to be something of an extremist if, when a conversation with a theist concerning theism comes to an unproductive deadend and the theist attempts to change the topic, he would customarily refuses to allow the topic to be changed.
This form of extremism might not be as spectacular as putting on a suicide vest and walking into a pentacostal meeting, but it is disgraceful enough.
