It really annoys me to see the term "militant atheists" used in this way. Because we're the ones killing abortion doctors, blowing ourselves up in crowded marketplaces and flying planes into buildings. Oh wait.
Atheists do not take up arms in the name of atheism.

That's because atheists aren't commiting child abuse by destroying their students' ability to think critically.

No, it doesn't. Childish beliefs held by a grown man do not warrant one jot of respect.

Grrr, seriously, this tired old strawman again? Is this guy just trolling?
Atheism is a lack of a belief, not a belief. To suggest that a "proof of atheism" can even exist is a contradiction of terms.
