Militant atheism has become a religion

[Phillip McCleod]

236. more insulting claptrap. sorry you don't get to define the terms.

your religious privilege is showing once again.

you use the term 'militant atheists' to dismiss and diminish people who frighten you and try to pass it off as reasonable discourse but it is nothing but insulting.

show me a 'militant' atheist ready to enforce atheism. you just don't like that we won't just shut up and let people inject made up and entirely subjective cherry picked nonsense into public discourse. that's not militant. that's just plain atheist.

you brandish these pejoratives as if you can force the world to accept their meaning.. same with the 'anti-theist' label if you ask me, though i gather there are some atheists who, rather like the impressionists, or gangster rappers, or slutwalkers, or queers, have embraced the pejorative and reclaimed it.

perhaps we should do the same with 'militant atheist.' shall we embrace that role and take it to the Nth level.

if you think we're annoying now, just imagine what that would be like.
