IMO it´s not.
Anyhow some varieties of militant atheism behave a lot like if they were.

lol yes there are certainly atheists who act like evangelical fundamentalists.

@Pikachu
Yes, they do.

@ElRengo

Yeah. Although to me that's more like a toxic fandom.

Same for both sides of fundamentalism.

@ElRengo

lol yeah i think toxic fandom could easily be applied to some christians i've interacted with as well.

For both "sides" it seem (perhaps just seems to me) to happen when (in each case) it´s a mask for wider agendas.
BTW though I understand what you mean, I trend to avoid the "toxic" concept.
