You guys must be writing your own dictionary. Extremism is not tied to a religion it is tied to one's willingness to express views or advocate for action that is marked by a considerable departure from the norm. Extreme bigotry definitely falls under the definition. Anti-religious radicalism certainly qualifies.

Tolerance of differences is the usual or normal state.

Extreme: marked by a considerable departure from the usual or traditional: tending or disposed to make extreme changes in existing views, habits, conditions, or institutions c : of, relating to, or constituting a political group associated with views, practices, and policies of extreme change d : advocating extreme measures to retain or restore a political state of affair.
