Why should they? Do I need to denounce radical anti-theism everyday?
No, but if pop culture was in the process of erasing the distinction between your atheism and radical anti-theism and you didn't want that distinction to vanish, then yes, you would need to denounce it at least often enough to create a conceptual distance between yourself and whatever crazies you happened to be worried about, and so would the rest of your movement if they didn't want to get sucked up into "militant atheism" as far as the public is concerned.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
