Atheistic Extremism

The advocacy for or use of violence, persecution, or state repression to eradicate religious belief and practice from society. This is the endgame of militant anti-theism, moving beyond argument to action: vandalizing places of worship, supporting regimes that jail the faithful, or even justifying violence against believers as "defending reason." It mirrors the religious totalitarianism it claims to oppose.

Example: "His rhetoric crossed into atheistic extremism when he began advocating for a 'Secular Purge'—using state power to confiscate church property and imprison clergy for 'mass delusion.' He wasn't a critic of religion; he was a would-be dictator who wanted to replace one enforced dogma with another."
