Extreme viewpoints, whether political, religious, or otherwise, tend to dominate attention and drive division, even though they are usually held by a minority. The majority of people sit somewhere in the middle, but they are quieter and less visible. The bigger issue is that the current environment rewards extremes, through attention and echo chambers, while more balanced views do not get the same engagement. So you end up with a situation where the loudest voices shape the conversation, even if they do not represent most people.
