Religious Extremists
Extremism is “the quality or state of being extreme” or “the advocacy of extreme measures or views”. The term is primarily used in a political or religious sense, to refer to an ideology that is considered to be far outside the mainstream attitudes of society. It is most often associated with religious ideology, but it really includes any belief system.
Frankly, religious extremists are one of the reasons why I also stopped going to church on a weekly basis. One of the users shared her experience in a summer camp run by extremists. When they found out her parents were non-believers, they harassed her by telling her she will go to hell. Who wouldn’t be discouraged by that?
