radicalism, fundamentalists, insecure, whatever you want to call it, you will find it in any religion and in any group of people. It is even likely you will find a touch of it in every individual.

Any time a religion deviates from the fundamental message of God, they will (by egoism) fall into the radicalism reverse chicken trap.
Even if a religion starts out as trying to understand and please God, it will eventually change its priorities to build, grow, and maintain its Empire. This is not just my opinion. It is the history of every religion on Earth.
And, just what is the fundamental message of God?
Harmony is harmony.
Disharmony is the only sin against God.
This message may sound simplistic, but it "flies in the face" of empire building. Why? How?
Attending church is not required to apply God's fundamental message.

No doubt there is. Mostly by people who "major in the minors" and tend to emphasize one or two aspects of their belief system to the exclusion of all others.
Called "throwing the baby out with the bathwater" syndrome.

In the words of Anton LaVey "Every religion in the world that has destroyed people is based on love".

Not neccessarily. Radicalism implies strong dogma. Some religions just simply don't have those kinds of implications - such as Buddhism.

Yes, every religion has its extremeists. They give everyone else in that religion a bad name. It's one thing to be passionate, something else to be an extremeist.

I don't know of any radical Wiccans. There may be, but I've never heard of them.
