I suspect that they would be equally militant if they were theists.  IMO, people who call for blood are interested in the blood, not whatever pretext they offer.

I suspect that they were militant as theists. The two that I've known both appeared to have deconverted badly. Devout believers becoming devout non-believers is nasty.

RE: I advocate for an atheistic ideology that aims to make a better world
The frustration of realizing that the people you respected and trusted lied to you, and you completely fell for it, is probably worse than never believing, or slowly coming away from a nonspecific and circumstantial belief.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

We need a government that would criminalize religion, execute those who refuse to give up their pointless faith, and re-educate everyone in the name of science and progress (especially kids).

I know they're gone already, but a secular government is one that is officially neutral in matters of religion, neither favoring nor opposing it. The government they're describing is not secular at all.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
