I consider anyone who tries to make me accept their take on anything an extremist. I will listen to and consider what they have to say, but if I reject it and they still try to make me accept it, I would consider that extremism.
That's not really extreme.
Regarding religion, I would say extremist would be translating the bible literally and proposing many of the things it says in there (stoning non-virgins to death?) Also people like the Westboro Baptist Church and the FLDS church who practice polygamy and said the world was going to end.
I just have a problem with people who claim to be a certain religion yet are embarrassed by what they truly should believe and refer to anyone who follows it better as an "extremist."
